Reviews
Very Helpful!!
This resources has been very helpful in my own consulting practice. The contract was a great resource to know how to get started. The nutrition recommendation form, simple however practical. I have used this form at many of my facilities and they just love it!! Thank you for putting this together!
Great Resource, From a Great Dietitian!
I have recently formed my own LTC/rehab dietetic consulting company. This package from Dietitian Moushumi is an excellent resource for “examples” of what kind of resources you would use or present to a potential client. The value is easily worth 10x the $9.99 charge. The sample contract itself is worth its weight in gold and can be used as a guide to be adjusted to your own business, offered services and other contractual conditions. I believe information “sharing” between dietitians is what makes our field so wonderful and unique, as the demand of our services outweighs any “risk” of competition between RD’s. Nice work Moushumi, and thank you!
