Career Exploration and Contribution of Scientist

Part A: Career Exploration and Contribution of Scientist 

 The career I choose to explore is a dietitian. Dietitians have many career options including clinical, communital, public health, consulting, research and sport dietitians. These dietitians can find employment in hospitals, nursing homes, universities/school cafeteria and health care facilities. To get started you would need to obtain a four year bachelor's degree in food and nutrition. You would also need to register to practice with a provincial regulatory body to protect the public's safety. After passing the temporary licencing exam you would need to write the Canadian Dietetics Registration Exam. After these steps are completed successfully, you are eligible to work as a Registered Dietitian in the province in which you are registered!

Overtime he wanted to find a cure for diabetes and found a temporary cure which was insulin. Because of this achievement he was given the Nobel peace prize for physiology and medicine in 1923. Banting was awarded a lifetime annuity by the Government of Canada, was appointed Canada's first professor of medical research at the University of Toronto. He was also made a Fellow of the Royal Society and a Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada.
