Isobel Bishop - Region 5

5/6/2021

​Hello! My name is Isobel Bishop and I am a region 5 Sodexo intern. I have finished my foodservice rotation and am currently completing my clinical rotation at MedStar Southern Maryland Hospital in Clinton, Maryland. I am enjoying my experience at the hospital and have learned so much from my amazing preceptors!
 
I was nervous going into my first day of my clinical rotation, as I had no prior experience working in a hospital. I quickly realized that there was no need to be nervous. My preceptors and Sodexo internship director helped me to feel comfortable in the transition into my role as a dietetic intern in the clinical setting. I am now more than halfway done with my clinical rotation and have been loving every minute of it! I have enjoyed spending my time working with an excellent inter-disciplinary team, assessing patients for malnutrition, giving diet education, and giving recommendations for nutrition support. One of my favorite experiences so far was when I had the opportunity to watch a modified barium swallow screen, where I saw one of the ways that the speech language pathologists assess patients for dysphagia. I was able to see how a patient with silent aspiration swallows, which was very interesting and helped me to better understand why therapeutic diets are so important.
 
I am confident that I am gaining the knowledge I need to succeed in my future career as a Registered Dietitian and am so thankful for the experiences the Sodexo Dietetic Internship has given me. I am looking forward to the rest of my journey as a dietetic intern and soon-to-be Registered Dietitian!
