Katie Weir RD, LDN Works at: Block Center for Integrative Cancer Treatment Hobbies: Going to concerts, cooking, reading, traveling, fitness What do you do in the field of dietetics? I work at the Block Center for Integrative Cancer Treatment. I provide individualized nutrition education and counseling based on a patient’s diagnosis, specific therapies, and nutritional needs. Did you always know you wanted to be a dietitian? I always wanted to be in the healthcare field, but I actually started my college career as a nursing major and quickly learned that nursing was not for me. After speaking with some nutrition students and professors, I knew that was the path I wanted to take. Is there a nutrition related topic you wish you knew more about? I love exercising and trying new fitness crazes and I would love to become more knowledgeable in the sports nutrition field. Where did you complete your internship? I completed my internship through Dominican University. My rotations included Alden Poplar Creek Rehab, Alexian Brothers, Medical Center, Block Center, and the Fantus Clinic at Stroger Hospital What is your favorite food? My favorite food often switches, but right now I’d have to say I love cabbage! Twitter: @katieweir_rd Instagram: @katieweir_rd
