Baltimore Washington Medical Center
Glen Burnie, MD May 21 - May 31, 2013
Baltimore Washington Medical Center is a 307-bed hospital affiliated with the University of Maryland Medical System and BWMC has been ranked as one of the top 5% of hospitals nationwide by HealthGrades. During my two weeks at BWMC, I was able to enhance my MNT and counseling skills working with patients on multiple floors using the nutrition care process. While there, I became familiar with Epic electronic health record for charting and researching clients as the hospital is paperless. During my two weeks there, I was able to work with patients in oncology, ICU, renal, nutrition support, respiratory, GI, cardiac, and diabetes. Unique disease states seen include gangrenous bowel, nasopharyngeal cancer, severe pancreatitis.
