Kristen Heitman is a recent graduate from the Health and Rehabilitation Sciences program under the direction of Dr. Christopher A. Taylor. Kristen completed her undergraduate degree at Michigan State University and her combined dietetic internship and master’s degree at Case Western Reserve University. She currently works as a bio nutritionist at The Ohio State University Clinical Research Center and is an adjunct instructor at Columbus State Community College. Kristen’s research focuses on implementation of the Academy’s Future Education Model education programs, elucidating teaching methods, best practices, and facilitators/barriers to program implementation.
