We have been getting a variety of patients in for WIC certs, recerts, or follow ups for nutrition educations. The RD doesn't do many MNTs here but she suggests it with those at nutritional risk. The problem is it is more money out of the patients pocket and many of those at nutrition risk don't want to be counseled.
On my first day, Brittany and I both got our Environmental facility inspection done. We went into two city elementary schools and assessed their cafeterias and their school environment. The health department has 2 Environmental Specialists and both went along.
For WIC consults I have been calling in a few patients and asking various questions for their recertifications. The certs are more conversational that I thought they would be. I'm pretty comfortable talking with the patients, but I'm still learning what all should be asked along with the codes.
Sounds like you are doing well- and not too worries about the WIC process. :)
