Dietetic Interns take over Lieberman!

For the last eight weeks at Lieberman, Traci Beierwaltes (Registered Dietitian and Assistant Director of Dining Services) and Christine Scarcello (Registered Dietitian and Nutrition Care Manager) had the pleasure of working with two Dietetic Interns at the Lieberman Center for Health and Rehabilitation.

Christine worked closely with Hannah as she was completing her dietetic internship rotation in Clinical Long Term Acute Care. Hannah competently and confidently took over the fourth floor rehabilitation unit. Nursing staff and residents were very impressed with the knowledge and compassion that she utilized during her time working with the rehab population.
Liz’s rotation at Lieberman encompassed Food Service Management, and she worked with Traci to manage all of the caterings and management duties. Traci and Liz worked to revitalize the Nosh cafeteria for the Lieberman employees, which included a Fall theme day that Liz created.

Liz and Hannah also conducted the August Cooking Club meeting; all of the residents who came down to the Nosh to bake chocolate chip muffins with the interns had a great time and enjoyed some tasty treats!
Traci and Christine feel that it is important to take on Dietetic Interns and help them to learn valuable skills for their future in the nutrition field. Both of these Lieberman dietitians were able to impart their knowledge, experience, and the Morrison standards to help Hannah and Liz be successful in their future dietetic careers!
