Clinical বিষয়ের নাম শুনলে আমার কঠিন মনে হতো অনেক যা নুসরাত আপু তার বাস্তবভিত্তিক অভিজ্ঞতা শেয়ার করার মাধ্যমে এবং বিভিন্ন রোগের ট্রিটমেন্ট মনে রাখার কৌশলের মাধ্যমে খুব সহজ করে দিছে। কোন রোগের ডায়েট চার্ট খুব সহজে কিভাবে তৈরি করা যায় তাও আপু এই clinical পড়ার সময় অনেকটা শিখিয়ে দিছে।এছাড়াও হসপিটালে কিভাবে ফাইল চেক করতে হয়, কিভাবে রোগীর সাথে কথা বলতে হয় সবটাই আপু হাতে ধরে শেখায়। তাই আমার মতে, "Clinical and overall nutritional subject সহজে বুঝার এবং পড়ার জন্য নুসরাত আপু বিকল্প নাই। "
