hello everybody

 

I just graduated few months ago( and passed all my exams) and I'm starting my

job as a clinical dietitian in a hospital very soon

I love reading about my major but there is something that is confusing me so

much

the new studies that tell us the exact opposite of what we learnt

 

for example I went for a conference last year and they told us giving high % of

protein doesnt effect the kidney and we shouldnt limit it to %15 only

so that means I can give kidney patients higher protien ?

 

also I read in a health magazine I'm subsribed to that cholestrol doesnt rise

the risk of heart problems

 

and many more confusing information

 

can you lead me to an accurate websites that I can trust and give my patient

advice with confident ?

even if I have to pay it is ok

 

 

thanks

Congratulations on your achievement!

Rather than rely on websites that may or may not reflect the science of

dietetics or popular magazines that have no obligation to present accurate

information, my first advice to you is to go straight to PubMed and set up a

free My NCBI account. Then you can search PubMed for the topics you are

interested in and set up email alerts or RSS feeds when research is published.

One of the competencies that you proudly achieved is to be able to critically

evaluate the literature and to be able to use evidence based practice resources

to guide you in providing high quality, safe patient care.

Good luck to you as you begin your career.

Hi, Maitha. Welcome to the professional world of dietetics! Pam gave you a great

answer to your excellent question. Now let me offer some professional advice

that will go a long way toward advancing your career. Use proper grammar,

punctuation, sentence structure, capitals, periods, etc., etc. when you type.

Then sign your name at the bottom of your emails. Save the shortcuts for

personal messages that don't matter when you are forced to type with your two

thumbs. Notice how professionally laid out Pam's note is below. Whether or not

you appreciate my calling you out on this (you're not the only one who needs to

hear this), the advice will go a long way toward presenting yourself as a

professional, rather than someone who appears to have barely made it of high

school. Do well!

Dave,

A good wake up call for someone like me, as I often shoot out a brief

answer for lack of time to formulate it correctly and consider all the

points you're making here. It's wonderful that our professional colleagues

know they're free to give advice like this, as otherwise, I may have

continued with the irritating habit of sending before I review and ensure my

thoughts and words are correct and will be understood.

Hi, Maitha. Welcome to the professional world of dietetics! Pam gave you a

great answer to your excellent question. Now let me offer some professional

advice that will go a long way toward advancing your career. Use proper

grammar, punctuation, sentence structure, capitals, periods, etc., etc. when

you type. Then sign your name at the bottom of your emails. Save the

shortcuts for personal messages that don't matter when you are forced to

type with your two thumbs. Notice how professionally laid out Pam's note is

below. Whether or not you appreciate my calling you out on this (you're not

the only one who needs to hear this), the advice will go a long way toward

presenting yourself as a professional, rather than someone who appears to

have barely made it of high school. Do well!

That’s OK Maitha. Most of us make the same mistakes you did and we don’t

really care too much about it. The important thing is to feel welcome and safe

in this forum, and to be able to ask questions about your needs. You’ll get to

know everyone soon as well as everyone’s fetishes and pet-peeves. English

isn’t my first language either, and no matter how long I’ve been “hereâ€

it’ll never be as it doesn’t come out the same. So we do our best and hope

for understanding during our worse moments. J

True we all make mistakes. But I think Dave gave some excellent advice.

Hello Maitha,

Here are some suggestions:

Journals to subscribe/read:

American Journal of Clinical Nutrition

Nutrition in Clinical Practice

Clinical Nutrition

Nutricion Hospitalaria (if you can read spanish it is a very good journal)

British Journal of Nutrition

European Journal of Clinical Nutrition

New England Journal of Medicine

....

There are many more

I don't subscribe them, since I work in a public facility (health center) I just

ask the central information department and they send me a copy of the issues

that I require.

Even per-reviewed journals have flawed papers or even studies that are made up,

so pay attention to what you are reading.

Websites

http://www.uptodate.com/index <-needs a subscription but it is a very good

source of all medical information and also has very good nutrition topics

www.pubmed.com (search database of medical journals)

www.medscape.com

http://www.mdconsult.com (requires subscription as well but allows you to try it

for 1 month)

www.espen.org , has free access to the European nutrition guidelines also

provides the LLL program that is a continuous education program online that is

free. I also recommend if you can afford it to go to the advance clinical

nutrition course that ESPEN provides ever year, it is 1 week and quite

affordable. I went this year it was 200 euro for the course and stay in a 4 star

hotel and they provided breakfast + lunch.

www.webmd.com this one has has good image resources, like portions (like this

one http://www.webmd.com/diet/healthtool-portion-size-plate), vitamin sources,

they are quite good to use to educate your patients. The quality of the

information isn't very good, depends on the writer. They became quite commercial

in the last 2 years, unfortunately.

http://www.obesitynetwork.ca Also very good source of information, it has some

videos of their conferences.

http://www2.niddk.nih.gov/

http://www.medal.org/

http://www.kidney.org/professionals/kdoqi/guidelines_commentaries.cfm#guidelines

Books recommended, note that these are general not pathology specific, they are

good for when you are starting

Modern Nutrition in Health and Disease

Basics in Clinical Nutrition (ESPEN)

Krause's Food & the Nutrition Care Process

And there is many more

Best luck in your career

English is not my first language either, I speak 2 Indian languages.

However, I suggest you take Dave's advise.

It will help you in your communication with other people.

Notice how I have a signature after my name, this is what Dave has suggested.

We are all interested in your success and wish to help you.

All the best.

English is my first language and there are days when I look back at something I

wrote and really wonder if I was brain dead when I wrote it. Policies and

Procedures seem to be a real problem for me along with notes to myself.
