Experience

  • Uganda Cancer Institute

      • Feb 2023 - Present

      Provided nutritional therapy through nutrition screening and nutritional intervention to sustain and promote proper healing and antineoplastic therapy tolerance with a focus on managing resulting side effects. Implemented proactive nutritional interventions so as to prevent the development of under nutrition in patients at high risk of becoming nutritionally depleted rather than being reactive and targeting the reversal of under nutrition only when it becomes apparent. Encouraged that the most appropriate nutritional interventions must meet nutrient requirements while also addressing side effects of impacting dietary intake such as: mucositis, severe nausea and vomiting, gastrointestinal obstruction, constipation, and diarrhea.
