This past week I finished up the first week of a two week cardiology rotation.  It has been a nice change of pace being back in the hospital but I will wait to tell you more about it until next week.  This week I am writing a review of the book Launching Your Dietetics Career by Kyle W. Shadix, MS, RD and D. Milton Stokes, MPH, RD. 
If you are in high school and thinking about a career in nutrition, already in college enrolled in a DPD program or a dietetic intern who may be just months away from the RD exam, this book is for you.   The authors break down each step in the process of becoming a registered dietitian with explicit detail.  The authors provide insight and advice that will not only answer your questions but also direct you towards the next steps you should be taking in your journey towards becoming a RD.  I wish that a resource like this book had been available to me when I decided I wanted to become a registered dietitian my freshman year of college and especially when I was preparing my dietetic internship applications! 
 I was fascinated by the amount and variety of outside contribution provided by registered dietitians practicing in various areas of dietetics.  The book featured advice from internship directors, interviews with recent dietetic interns, suggestions about how to excel in the area of dietetics you are interested in and more.  The inspiring stories and bios provided by registered dietitians ignite excitement and enthusiasm for the wonderful opportunities available to young dietitians looking to make their mark in the expanding nutrition field.
The wealth of knowledge gathered and laid out in this 222 page book makes it a valuable tool for anyone looking to become a dietitian.  Launching Your Dietetics Career expands beyond what you can learn from a college professor or a DPD program director.  This book will serve as your personal pocket guide towards career success as a registered dietitian no matter where you are in the process, or what area of nutrition you are looking to build a career.
