Ep 35 - Dorothy McClure RD, LD

Conversation 35: The Story, Journey and Passion of Dorothy McClure, RD, LD “I was used to trying to help fix people and mend them (as a clinical dietitian), all these high risk things and then all of a sudden, I come to long term care and it was really hard for me at first. To think about that people are coming there to live their life out and maybe not go home, that was really hard. But, I enjoyed listening to their stories and learning from them and all their past experiences. ” - Dorothy McClure, RD, LD My conversation today is with Registered Dietitian Dorothy McClure. My conversation today has brought a lot of light to long term care for me. I was once also a clinical dietitian and it was something that was never on my radar. Dorothy has opened my eyes to all the wonderful things long term care offers for registered dietitians and for the clients. Dorothy is not only a registered dietitian, but she manages a staff of clinical dietitians, works as an integral part of a team of other allied health professionals, is an adjunct professor, is a certified Serv Safe instructor, and knows the ins and outs of many differet aspects of food service management. She has had quite the career (so far) and I hope this podcast shares with you a new world of job opportunities as a registered dietitian. Please enjoy my conversation with Dorothy.
