Intern Comments I think it is important for interns to know that the North is a great
opportunity to gain a broad perspective of a small town dietitian’s job. They have a lot of autonomy and flexibility with their work and make a lot of great things happen.
The Northern Health dietitians are wonderful and very knowledgeable, I have met so many wonderful people along the way that it is hard to leave each community, but know I have built some amazing friendships that I hope to keep in contact with for years to come.
People just need to be a bit adventurous and leave their comfort zone to experience what great things life has to offer.
Traveling around to the different towns gives you an idea of what’s available around the north and which communities you might want to work in. You may be surprised and end up really liking a town that you have never been before.
