Had the realization this morning that in two weeks from today I’ll be graduating from my dietetic internship with UMD. Here’s a throwback pic for everyone from when it all began!

Many thanks to Alive and Thrive for allowing UMD dietetic interns to participate in the Emerging Lessons for Sustaining Maternal, Infant, and Young Children Nutrition Policies and Programs conference! Read the blog here: https://t.co/m5WJBlL5p7

Happy to see the menu the UMD dietetic interns helped design come to light at the UMD Earth Day Dinner last night!

UCF medical school starts #culinary #medicine course! “This class is amazing … and it helps doctors understand what dietitians are needed for,” said Roniece Weaver RD and executive director of Hebni Nutrition Consultants #prevention #works https://t.co/PVYNzWKOKW

I learned so much over the last 2 weeks at CNMC in the Endocrinology and Diabetes Clinic on Type I diabetes management. Nutrition counseling makes a world of difference for the patients and their families.

I'm torn between #RDNday and #PiDay. Which to choose, which to choose? I've come to a compromise with this healthier pie recipe :)

Good morning! Start your day with our cover story on the Power of Coffee. Several recent review studies on the safety & health impact of coffee drinking show that enjoying several cups every day is, in most cases, likely to do more good than harm. More: https://t.co/Wze4HxvKPn

These beautiful diabetes-friendly "superfood" bowls are a treat for the eyes and taste buds. I already have the ingredients for the Nordic bowl added to next week's grocery list. @siggisdairy

After a nice winter vacation, @emily_futureRD and I were able to come back to work and be outside at UMD's @TerpFarm! (Still worth it even though it was only 12 degrees outside).

Today @emily_futureRD and I gave our final presentation for our UMD Dining Services rotation. We couldn't have been more excited about the scallion pancakes and coconut mango rice we made! Thank you to everyone that made this a success.

@KFelter_UMD I didn't know you liked mushrooms too!

@emily_futureRD and I were lucky enough to meet @PaulaKaramihas yesterday to learn about her important role as the sports dietitian for the UMD football team!

[Alexandra Long @Long_Nutrition]

Excited to be starting my dining services rotation at UMD with my partner @emily_futureRD. UMD dining hall is amazing; we've already learned so much in just 2 days!

[Alexandra Long @Long_Nutrition]

It feels bittersweet to be in my final week of clinical, but it's nice to know I'll be revisiting my preceptors for my major case study presentation!

[Alexandra Long @Long_Nutrition]

I'm excited to share with you my first blog entry for the UMD dietetic internship! This is a good read for #RDs2B! https://t.co/mOZktSRJKX
