Hello!
We hope this email finds you well. Would you be able to send this information out to your incoming nutrition students?
We have an exciting volunteer opportunity at NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital / Weill Cornell Medical Center! We are looking for nutrition students who are looking to gain volunteer experience in
clinical nutrition and can commit to 1 year of volunteer work starting in Fall 2021. They will be scheduled for 5 hours per day, typically one shift per week. We staff volunteers all days of the week so Monday - Sunday with time slots between 10am and 5pm.
Examples of Volunteer Responsibilities include:
-- Bring snacks and supplements to patients on in-patient units (thickening powders, oral supplements, etc.)
-- Conduct Meal Rounds
-- Help patients fill out menus
-- Check tray accuracy
-- Post calorie count forms
-- Help with various department projects and events: national nutrition month, heart healthy month, develop recipes and fliers, assist in cooking demonstrations, etc
-- Survey patients to obtain feedback on their food/nutrition experience in the hospital
Please email me with any questions or concerns.
Thank you,
