Day Two: Meetings and more Meetings

Today was just a long day of a constant meeting covering multiple topics. Today my mentor since she is the head dietitian had to meet with all the other dietitians in the region. We discused many things from the new Beyond Purred initiative to budget expenses. The dietitians we met with were from many areas from Missouri to East Texas. Today's meeting was to check to make sure that all the homes that these dietitians over see are doing their job and if not, how they can change that.Also we met with a sales representative talking about supplements and additives in the food to increase intake of protein and fiber. We tested the products and learned about ADD and C. fillis. It is required for required for registered dietitians to take these classes and learn about new products to keep their licenses' to practice. Today wasn't as hands on as yesterday or how Friday will be but i got to see the behind the scenes process to get an assisted living facility functioning right, at least in the nutrition area.
