I MARIYA FATIMA pursuing my PG DIPLOMA in Nutrition and Dietetics from St. Ann’s College For women. I would see myself after one year in any of the hospitals working as a junior nutritionist. As time passes I will be experienced in the field of Nutrition, in planning diets for people, besides teaching them about the importance of healthy eating. And also promote the role of food as a necessary preventive health system. In the future, I want to promote the idea of good health through proper eating habits by preparing diet charts, emphasizing exercises, selecting food items, and explain how to build one’s metabolism, and so on.
In the next 3 years, I would see myself as a CLINICAL NUTRITIONIST, by providing medical nutrition therapy, a therapeutic method used to treat diseases by specifically tailoring the diet. I would be working with doctors and other health care professionals to develop meal plans that provide the appropriate amount of nutrients to patients, based on their medical conditions. I would advise people on the types and quantity of food intake required specifically to increase or decrease their body weight. Through the promotion of a healthy diet, as a nutritionist, I would like to improve the patient quality of life and promote the overall welfare of the patients.
The internship included many responsibilities that are necessary. Each day brought different circumstances and I had the opportunity to make decisions on my own and learn from both my successes and failures. The internship was a worthwhile experience and I feel that it has prepared me well for my professional career. I will take both the positive and negative aspects of the internship with me in applying for and analyzing future opportunities.
It provided me with valuable hands-on experience and a better idea about what knowledge areas and skills I should attach more importance to and make further improvements in my further studies. It was a wonderful opportunity to learn and get a better understanding of the culture of the FHTS organization. I also benefitted from attending the programs and seminars.
