Changing specialities / Women's health CEU's?
I come from an eating disorder background, i did my clinical rotation in an ED treatment center. I did not get a typical hospital clinical rotation. Because i have literally no experience or even knowledge in the acute/clinical world, i wasn't able to get any job aside from another eating disorder RD job. I spent 8 months job searching after i passed the exam, with countless rejections. I finally just started with one of the telehealth companies because this seems to be quite literally the only job i can get with my lack of experience and in my area.
Anyways, I went all through school thinking i wanted to do counseling/ED nutrition work...until i got into it. And i realized i simply do not want to be in the eating disorder world lol. I'm terrified i've pigeon holed myself. My clients in the telehealth role are RD/mental health patients, because again, that's the only experience i have. Not only am i not enjoying it, but i'm not getting enough bookings.
With all that being said, I NEED to transition out of this. I am very interested in women's health/fertility/pregnancy and functional/gut health work. I have no knowledge on it, but very willing to learn. So for those who "changed specialities," how did you go about it? Start seeing clients as you learn about it?
What kinds of resources/CEUs do you all like for learning about womens health/functional nutrition/gut health?
I won't lie, a big part of me just wants to not be a dietitian anymore after this past year. I've only been an RD for a year, but man has this first year been anything but enjoyable.. I'm just trying to figure out the best move from here..
