Research
Every year four graduate students who are enrolled in the Clinical Nutrition Masters/Internship program at the University of Memphis join the department of Clinical Nutrition as graduate assistants (GA’s).
This training program is managed by Karen Ringwald-Smith, RD, MS, LDN the nutrition project coordinator. These students work directly with a nutritionist who acts as his/her mentor and supervisor for the year.
In addition to providing direct patient care, the GA’s participate in nutrition related activities such as health fairs and National Nutrition Month projects. The graduation assistantship is also grounded in research training; GA’s participate in all stages of the research process with the ultimate goal of sharing the findings with other health care providers.
