[Img 3540] Students from the Coordinated Program in Dietetics attended a group practicum visit and tour of the UT Health San Antonio MD Anderson Cancer Center.

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.
