following patient categories: chronic disease, growth faltering,
micronutrient deficiencies, pediatric overweight and obesity, critically ill

difficulties with time management and request assistance as appropriate.

The formal presentation of the topic will be done the last two weeks of the
internship. Each presentation should be 45 minutes long, with 15 minutes left
for questions. The presentation is formal and will be given to a group of

graded professionalism, content, and overall presentation style. The
presentation will be graded by all attendees and averages determined then
combined with mentor evaluation. Average of 80% total points, with no missing
sections (no ratings of a “0”) is a Pass.
