For our educational needs assessments we are focusing on students’  knowledge of medications and the expectations of regarding this knowledge upon entering internship. Medications and their uses can often be a point of stress for students entering internship so the goal of our session is to help introduce students to a few main types of medications. Examples of these include, prokinetics, antiemetics, diabetes medications, fluid and hypertension medications and those used for bowel protocol. Although we are not going to focus on specific medications, our group thinks that it is important for students to gain a broad understanding of common types of medications that will be part of dietetic practice. After receiving feedback from the students about their interests on this topic we have created our needs assessment and program plan.
