Nearly everything you ever wanted to know about ED careers and private practice!

I really think you're going to love being a dietitian.  Whether you practice in a hospital or as part of a private practice - or both - you'll have the chance to feel good about helping others every single day. 

I had tons of questions when I started out, and you probably do too, as Laura Daugherty, our Spring 2009 intern from TCU's Coordinated Program in Dietetics recently reminded me.

While Laura worked with us, she picked my brain daily about all the questions students and new dietitians have as they embark on their professional journey.

It's at her suggestion that we're sharing these answers online.  Thanks, Laura!
