| Dietetics
and nutrition students visit UT Health San Antonio MD Anderson Cancer Center |
Students from the Coordinated Program in Dietetics attended a group practicum visit and tour of the UT Health San Antonio MD Anderson Cancer Center. The visit included a presentation by Brenna Price, MDS, RD, LD (Oncology Dietitian), a former student of the
program during its time at UT Health San Antonio, and a presentation by Dr. Sherri Cervantes, assistant professor of medicine in the Department of Hematology/Oncology, Palliative Medicine on Supportive Care Services. Mary Jackson, MSN, RN, OCN, director of
Patient & Family Services, gave the students a tour of the center, where there were also able to view a radiation vault and speak with one of the radiation physicists. From the visit, the students were able to understand how impactful medical nutrition therapy
is to cancer patients and the critical role a dietitian has in maintaining and improving quality of life during cancer treatment. (Courtesy of Dr. Liset Leal-Vasquez and Professor Traci Keck)
