Lesley Lalonde (née McBain)

Lesley grew up in Barrie and completed her Bachelor of Applied Science in Human Nutrition at the University of Guelph in 2012. NODIP was the perfect fit as she was looking for a practicum program that would push her outside of her comfort zone to develop skills and confidence working in diverse practice settings. Since completing her practical training Lesley has worked as a Registered Dietitian at Health Sciences North (HSN) in Sudbury. She is part of an interdisciplinary team providing client-centred care in critical care, medicine and surgery. Inspired by her work with patients across Northeastern Ontario, Lesley studied at College Boreal to achieve advanced-level competency in French as a Second Language. She continues to work closely with NODIP as a preceptor, a member of the NODIP Committee and by contributing to many NODIP curriculum working groups. Lesley has a NOSM University faculty appointment as a Clinical Lecturer. In 2016, Lesley received the NOSM University “Innovative Preceptor” award.
