Why I chose to be a Renal Dietitian?

• Towards the end of my post graduation, i realized that I have the conviction to solve renal cases

• Not because India has less number of Renal Dietitians, but because i realized I had the acumen needed to do dietary planning for renal patients

• Soon, this conviction got converted into passion when I started practicing as a Renal Dietitian

• Hardly, i knew i would then also pursue PhD in this field but I am glad I did !
