Registered dietitians play an important role within the patient care team, working to improve and maintain the nutritional status of patients throughout their hospital stay.

Preceptor of the Year
Preceptor of the Year award is to recognize the exceptional teaching, mentoring, and leadership activities of NYP DI preceptors. This acknowledgment is presented by each graduating class to preceptors who have positively impacted their learning during the program year. The interns have described recipients of this recognition as: “true mentor and leader,” “remarkably gifted teacher,” “exemplified NYP Standards of excellence,” “approachable and lighthearted,” “provided challenging cases to facilitate growth,” and “individualized approach to precepting.” Recipients of this award are recognized during the graduation ceremonies and farewell breakfasts hosted at each campus.
