Abstract
St. Paul hospital was the first institution I started my hospital attachment (Dietetics internship) for departments such as Internal medicine, Surgery and Pediatrics. My stay lasted from December-March 2020 until a notification to discontinue came from our instructor due to the corona virus case in the country and the institution closed for unknown period of time.
During my stay, things I have accomplished included, individual patient nutritional assessment and interventions, baseline anthropometric assessment for all patients admitted to Internal medicine ward, designing individual as well as general menu and recipe to be given to the patients or the hospital kitchen, developing health education materials and individual information sheets (on specific health conditions and their questions related to their diet) to be given for patients on discharge, giving health educations and developing a proposal for the pediatric ward to develop a separate kitchen that can provide an optimal nutrition to pediatric patients (this I did with my colleague).
Ward activities
Ward activities included developing different forms that are used in the clinical practices and working with patients at internal medicine, surgery and pediatric wards. Additionally giving health education and preparing educational materials such as leaflets, posters, presentations and brochures are among the works accomplished during the clinical practice period.
