Justine Glover

Posted on December 20, 2023

Justine completed their Bachelor of Applied Science in Nutrition and Food at Toronto Metropolitan University (formerly Ryerson University) in 2017. In 2019 Justine completed their postgraduate practicum with NOSM University’s DPP in Sault Ste. Marie with placements in their hometown of Wasaga Beach, Barrie and up north in Sioux Lookout. After completing their practical training, they accepted a full-time job as a Registered Dietitian in Wawa, with placements in pediatrics, renal, diabetes and a community health centre, to name a few, Justine felt prepared to practice as the lone dietitian in a family health team in a rural community. The range of roles encompassed in the day-to-day brings constant excitement and challenges. Justine is thankful for the relationships built with preceptors and fellow learners during their time at DPP that help support them in practice now. Why the NOSM DPP program stood out to Justine was, the focus on supporting learners through their journey and tailoring the program to their interest. Justine is now a preceptor for the DPP. After celebrating over five years of living and working in Wawa, Justine has no plans of leaving, is planting their roots, and building lasting relationships in the community.
