While my internship doesn't technically start until August, there were a ton of things to be done this summer. The way that Murray State's DI works is they give you a list of about 10 different locations in Kentucky and you rank them 1 through 10 on where you would prefer to do your rotations. Wanting to stay in a more city-like area over a rural town I ranked Lexington and Louisville the highest and was beyond thrilled when I got my placement in Louisville! I will be doing my clinical and food service rotations at University of Louisville Hospital and my community rotation at Kentucky One Health in the diabetes center. Each of those places requires certain things be done before I can even start so I have been very busy with that!
With all of that underway I also have to set everything up with Murray State's graduate school since I will be getting my masters during all of this too. I actually have to take a medical writing course in July before I can even start my internship. (That'll be here before I know it)
I'm living with two other interns who got placed in Louisville and I am so excited to be with people who are going through the same experience as I am. We are currently deciding on where we want to live and we've narrowed it down to two different places. Fingers crossed that we sign on one soon!
So this was just a quick update about all the time and preparation it takes before you even start a dietetic internship. I probably won't post anything for a couple weeks until I'm immersed in that writing course.
Have a great night! xoxo
