Class of 2020

My name is Abrar alsalah, a clinical dietitian graduate, class of 2020. I was honored to be the leader of my class for two years and it was an extraordinary experience. This opportunity made me overcome most of my fears, taught me many skills, and polished my personality which has benefited me on a professional and social basis. Clinical dietitian is one of the most important majors in patients rehabilitation and I was fortunate to study this specialization. During my internship, I understood how crucial the role of a nutritionist is in treating patients and how such a little change in a diet plan can improve the patient's quality of life. The work environment in the hospital was very comfortable and the staff were very friendly, helpful, and added a lot to my knowledge.

My specialization in Clinical Nutrition is an exciting and crucial field that allows me to guide individuals towards a healthy and balanced lifestyle through proper nutrition. After completing my Master's degree, I decided to pursue my doctoral studies at the University of Glasgow, where I continued to deepen my knowledge and skills in this evolving field. During my academic and professional journey, I completed an internship in three different hospitals, where I gained valuable experiences and learned a great deal. This experience significantly contributed to the development of my skills in providing specialized nutritional care and understanding the challenges of nutrition in a hospital setting.
Furthermore, I served as the student president during my studies, which allowed me to establish strong relationships with my peers and instructors. This role contributed to enhancing communication and interaction with department members, facilitating the exchange of experiences and knowledge. Additionally, I have a strong presence on social media, enabling me to effectively share knowledge and tips on proper nutrition.

I had a chance after the third year to practice in the Royal commission Hospital in Jubail Industrial City, which prepares me before the internship year, that, in turn, increases my experiences in the field of Clinical Nutrition in three of the most prestigious hospitals in different cities in the Eastern Province. Even though the internship year coincided with the COVID-19 outbreak, the University had a significant role in making the internship successful. My appreciation goes to my department, represented by the chairman and the faculty, thank you all for your continued efforts, and I hope to repay your favors.

‏Nowadays, I am working in the research field besides my own business as a clinical dietitian. However, as a clinical dietitian, you have a significant impact on the research field in different aspects. As when you're a student, the department establishes, develops, and encourages you to be a researcher in nutrition subjects.
‏After graduation, I tried to do my best to work on my own development in this area as an academic researcher in the nutrition field. The most important supporter was the faculty of the clinical nutrition department. They welcomed me at any time for any research topic without any limitations. They gave me their true opinions, support, and help to reach this level of experience regarding this area. I am beyond thankful for our great faculty for giving me a chance to be a part of their team in any research paper.
‏I have three published articles in different high-rank journals and three articles under review.
In conclusion: to be a researcher, it’s not something hard or easy, it’s all about your passion and how you can keep working hard on yourself skills by taking workshops, courses, and even something related to statistical analysis.
‏My aim is to deliver my sound to the largest possible number of people and expand a new finding that can help patients and reduce their suffering.

Fay Ibraheem Albahussain, Clinical Dietitian at the King Fahd University Hospital, Khobar. I graduated as a first honor student from the Clinical Nutrition Department, Imam Abdulrahman Bin Faisal University in 2015. After graduation, I volunteered at Dr. Ahmed Algarzaie Center for Bariatric Surgery. Then, I started my first work experience at King Fahd University Hospital as a pediatric dietitian. Although I have never thought of specializing in pediatrics, I found that it is a really interesting specialty that involves several fields. I also participated in supervising the enteral feeding of the long term patient care which was my old interest since I was a student.  Recently, I joined The Saudi Society for Clinical Nutrition Eastern Province as a board member. Clinical Nutrition is a multidisciplinary specialty. Completing the training in all the various fields, during the internship year, is essential to determine your area of interest.
