James A. Haley Tampa VA Hospital
1. Do interns receive one-on-one teaching by the Dietitians?
The majority of the rotations will involve one to one teaching with the Dietetic Intern. In the management rotations (Administration/Training, School Food Service and Chief, Clinical Manager) interns rotate through in pairs due to the project nature of these rotations. Interns are also paired for the Pediatric specialty rotation week at St. Joseph's Hospital.
2. What kind of library resources will the interns have access to?
The dietetic intern will have full use of the hospital library which offers a wide variety of books, periodicals, and services, including Internet, Medline and a videotape listening area. During Orientation, interns are given an extensive online introduction to the many electronic databases that they will have at their fingertips from their own personal computers in their cubicle, including:
