-Nathan Brown, Dietetic Intern Class of 2023 - "I thoroughly enjoyed the program! Texas Woman’s University- Houston was my first choice, and I am so grateful to have been accepted into the program. If I had to do it over again, I would not choose a different program. TWU-Houston is well-organized, with clear expectations. It was an honor to be a TWU- Houston dietetic intern!"
-Nicole Hoyme, Dietetic Intern Class of 2023 - "This program truly helped me evolve into a confident nutrition professional. I gained important clinical skills to support my patients as well as strengthened my interpersonal skills and self-management. This program was very tough for me as a career-changer and a parent, but I learned that these aspects of myself were actually strengths. Going through this program helped me realize that a lot of what one may view as a strength or weakness comes down to mindset. The challenges of this program also helped me let go (some-what) of perfectionism and realize that I could accomplish so much if I prioritize and focus on what matters. I'm so glad I chose this program. I would 100% do it all over again knowing the outcome. I believe I am well prepared for my future career as a dietitian!"
