"UTSPH gave me the building blocks for the foundation on which my career is based on now. My MPH has given me the ability to bring a new approach to patient care and program planning & evaluation. Not to mention, its a huge bonus in my Spokesperson role for the Academy of Nutrition & Dietetics. I couldn't have asked for a more well-rounded training." --Kristi King, MPH, RDN, CNSC, LD, Senior Pediatric Dietitian at Texas Children's Hospital & Clinical Instructor at Baylor College of Medicine
