So proud of Lisa, a recent MSCP grad, who just pas

So proud of Lisa, a recent MSCP grad, who just passed her RD exam! 🌟 She is sharing some key tips for current nutrition students:

1) "For whichever rotation you're in, I think it's advantageous to look back on lecture notes/textbooks to get a better understanding of how things work. For example, for a food service rotation, it would be helpful to do a quick overview of inventory control, menu setup, types of food preparation, etc. and for something like inpatient, looking back at disease states, enteral/parenteral nutrition, etc. would be a big help. I think this also helps when it comes time to study for the exam. Also, treat every rotation like it's a job interview. Preceptors will either be able to recommend you for a position or even hire you. I got offered a position upon graduation from a preceptor so always show up as your best self! The RD world is small and everyone knows everyone."

2) For the RD Exam, "I did a combination of Visual Veggies, Pocket Prep and Inman. I focused on each domain for 2-3 weeks and did lots of practice quizzes/exams in each area. For VV and PP, it gives detailed explanations of each answer for the practice questions, which really helped me in the exam. The exam was very situational based, and for some of the questions, I didn't know the answer. However, from what I picked up when reading the explanations from the practice quizzes/exam questions, I was able to deduce which answers might be the most correct. PP has short quizzes for each domain, and I would do these whenever I had free time. I'm a visual learner and I think for others who are also visual learners, VV is a great platform to learn from. Also, practice practice practice the food service calculations (% yield, edible portions, etc.). I got a few of these on the exam but they weren't as difficult as I thought, just knowing the basic way to solve them really saved me. Try not to overthink anything and trust yourself!"
