Per the CDR 2024 Graduate Degree Requirement, after January 1, 2024, dietetic interns must complete all requirements of the dietetic internship and successfully complete a graduate program to receive a DI verification statement and to be eligible to take the registration examination for dietitians. We are not able to accept interns who do not already have and are not planning to obtain a master’s degree.

We offer full-time and part-time rotation schedule options to provide interns additional flexibility when creating their rotation schedules. Our part-time program is 12 months and interns must complete a minimum of 20 hours per week. For those interested in completing their dietetic internship in less time, we have a full-time program that interns can complete in only 8 months. In the event of extenuating circumstances, interns have up to 150% of the time allotted to complete the program requirements.
