Sarah Wyder

Born and raised in Thunder Bay, ON, Sarah Wyder graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Food and Nutrition with an Honours Specialization in Nutrition and Dietetics from Western University in 2020. She was grateful to return home in 2021 to complete Northern Ontario Dietetic Internship Program; now the Dietetic Practicum Program (DPP).

Sarah began her career working part-time with the Mental Health Rehabilitation Program at St. Joseph’s Hospital while also covering a maternity leave at the Maternity Centre at Thunder Bay Regional Health Sciences Centre. Since 2023, she has been working full-time at the Norwest Community Health Centre, where she has the privilege of supporting clients across a wide range of demographics and health conditions.

Reflecting on her time in the program, Sarah shares:

“My favourite part of the program was the opportunity to build strong connections with preceptors and fellow learners while gaining diverse experiences across clinical, community, and population health settings. I especially valued being able to train in Northern Ontario, as it allowed me to strengthen my skills in providing accessible, client-centred care while staying rooted in the community where I grew up.”
