Overview

Mary Ann’s advanced and varied “real world” skills, and years of hands-on experience can add tremendous value to your curriculum-based:

University nutrition and dietetics programs

Coordinated Undergraduate Programs (CUPs) in nutrition and dietetics

University medical school programs

University programs in nursing, pharmacology and social work

Post-graduate internship programs

Mary Ann can teach nutrition and dietetic students how to translate their didactic classroom knowledge into real world skills…but not just skills that meet expectations…but advanced skills that exceed employers’ expectations!

When students acquire this higher level of “skill expertise”, they are more fully prepared to meet the demands of today's work culture. To not only succeed, but thrive in this culture, the new graduate is expected to:

Perform her/his duties according to these newest evidence-based standards, protocols and state-of-art technologies

Have “skill-readiness” from the first day of employment

Be highly flexible in the new arena of ever-changing Medicare and insurance reimbursement, company re-organizations, down-sizing and maintaining multiple part-time jobs.

These skill-enhancing competencies can also tremendously help students prepare for dietetic and other types of post-graduate internships.

These goals can be achieved in a fiscally responsible way by retaining Mary Ann as a:

Consultant, to provide specialized training workshops and/or seminars

Visiting Teaching Associate

Visiting Dietitian

Adjunct Faculty Member

In any of these capacities, Mary Ann can enhance your students’ real-world skills in these many diverse and important areas.
