Continuously seeking opportunities to be a preceptor will be a cornerstone of my new career as a credentialed RDN. The benefits of precepting other students are tremendous, and it is something I personally look forward to in my future. Students bring fresh perspective and ideas; and equally important they reflect the latest scientific practices in the constantly evolving field of nutrition science. Precepting students requires mentoring and leadership skills and the process of teaching someone, reinforces concepts and cements knowledge. My favorite students are those that ask hard questions, and can benefit from my lessons learned and challenges. I’m thankful for my preceptors who exhibited immense depth of knowledge and specialty skills, but also were patient and willing to take the time to adapt to my learning style. My goal is to do the same for the next generation of RDNs.
