“The clinical experience at Bastyr Center for Natural Health during my DPD program gave me a chance to practice my nutrition counseling skills, apply evidence-based interventions with actual patients and practice using educational materials to support my recommendations. Having a dietitian supervise and guide me, along with the support of my peers, was insightful and clarifying. The experience helped me to gain a keen awareness of how to effectively collaborate with patients and develop confidence in my clinical judgment."
