INTERVIEW WITH PROFESSOR<br />

MARTHA ALTAMIROANO<br />

FROM GUADALAJARA MEXICO<br />

BY: ATALIA VAZQUEZ<br />

Networking is a vital component of our professional growth, so what if we took it a step further and reached out<br />

to professionals in other countries? With culture being such a major influencing factor in nutrition, we wanted<br />

to create a gateway to expand our understanding of the profession of dietetics in other countries, which is why<br />

today I want to introduce you to Professor Martha Betzaida Altamirano Martinez. Ms. Martha Altamirano is the<br />

undergraduate nutrition program coordinator in the University Center for Health Sciences (CUCS), a branch of<br />

the University of Guadalajara in Mexico.<br />

<br />

Ms. Altamirano was interviewed, and to preserve the interview's integrity, you'll see the Spanish and English<br />

translated versions of the interview. Continue reading and learn about Ms. Altamirano and the nutrition<br />

program in Mexico.<br />

Universidad de Guadalajara?<br />

Prof. Altamirnao: Mi nombre es Martha Altamirano y soy Licenciada en Nutrición con una maestría en<br />

Psicología de la Salud. Para llegar a ser coordinadora de la Licenciatura en nutrición del CUCS tuve que<br />

transitar primero como profesor de asignatura desde el año 2000, posteriormente en el obtuve mi<br />

Jefa del Laboratorio de Evaluación del Estado Nutricio durante 8 años y Jefa del laboratorio de Ciencias de los<br />

Alimentos por 6 meses. Posterior a esto, fui recomendada por la coordinadora previa ante las autoridades de<br />

la Universidad para que me nombraran Coordinadora de Carrera, y el Rector de ese momento que conocía mi<br />

trabajo previo, me invitó a trabajar en este puesto en el que me he desempeñado desde mayo del 2017 hasta la<br />

fecha.
