Sarah Neary - Philadelphia Campus

Hello everyone! My name is Sarah Neary and I am an intern at the Philadelphia, Pa campus. I am currently in my pediatric concentration at Nemours AI duPont Hospital for Children in Delaware. While in my rotation, I have had the opportunity to observe general pediatrics and also diverse specialties with the Registered Dietitians such as: intestinal failure, renal, weight management, bariatrics, oncology, endocrine, NICU/PICU/CICU, and even the use of the ketogenic diet with seizure management. While working with this population, it has been so rewarding to see how nutrition plays such a pivotal role in the treatment and growth of each patient.
 
During my time at Nemours, I have also had the opportunity to observe other areas of the hospital including: a bariatric surgery, spending the day learning hands on with the wound care nurse, observing the formula room technicians, and also spending time with an IB-CLC (International Board – Certified Lactation Consultant). During the internship, it is important to voice your interests and step out of the box in order to broaden your education. This could allow you to experience opportunities that may not be available during your day to day responsibilities as an intern. The opportunities you take during your internship may be your only chance before getting a job in the field, so it is important speak up and make this experience your own!
