Question by msclem: How to combine nutrition and maternal health interests?
I am currently a junior in a dietetics program, exploring my future career options.

My passions I would like to combine into a career are general nutrition, maternal nutrition, new mother counseling, and newborn-infant nutrition.

I have thought of becoming a midwife, but that doesn’t completely encompass my interests. Also, I am not looking into becoming an obstetrician at this point.

Anyone have any insight? Suggestions? Programs that might be beneficial? Thanks!

How about maternal and child health nursing? Or maternal and child health at a school of public health?
