April 24th- Today we had a guest speak who is Francie Astrom.  She is the head dietitian at WellWorks. I found that is it supported partially by wellness funds. Her salary is paid by half the wellness funds and half of the money brought into from the members. The types of services that are at WellWorks is a fitness center, massage, personal trainers, blood pressure, cholesterol screenings.  The focus of WellWorks is to provide a wide variety of programming not just fitness. It focuses on keeping members healthy and achieve adaptable health.  

April 26th- Today we went over the Ohio Board of Dietetics. We learned that as soon as you get done with your internship you immediately have to practice under your own licenses and not someone else. I also learned that you can make complaints to the Ohio Board of Dietetics that are screened. The purpose of the Ohio Board of Dietetics is to establish standards and responsibilities for Dietitians. It also issues permits and licenses to the dietitian. I hope that one day I will be able to get my licenses and finally become a registered dietitian!
