Sports nutrition and Wellness rotations

The practice areas of sports nutrition and wellness are relatively new to dietetics. UHDI has several rotation sites where interns can get exposure to this growing field. Methodist Wellness Services is an eight week rotation with The Methodist Hospital in the TMC. Interns will gain experience in corporate wellness, employee wellness and work in a physician supervised weight loss program. Interns teach classes, develop education materials and work wellness fairs.

Four week rotation opportunities at The Houstonian give interns opportunities to work with clients in exercise facilities to provide expert advice on diet and exercise. Interns may choose to work on campus in the UH Health clinic and Recreation centers providing nutrition counseling to students and faculty. In addition, interns work with the various UH athletic teams to provide nutritional assessments and education sessions.

The UHDI also has an affiliation with the team dietitian at Texas A&M - interns may choose to spend four weeks in College Station working directly with one of only 16 NCAA Division 1 team dietitians!
