Dietetic Internship Application Development

Catalog description

This course is designed to assist students with the critical thinking skills required to prepare and implement post-graduate educational plans required to progress in the field of nutrition and dietetics. Students wishing to become a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist (RDN) must apply to and be selected for a post-baccalaureate professional supervised learning experience, also known as a dietetic internship, following graduation. The process is competitive, complex and requires self-awareness of professional strengths and weaknesses as well as knowledge of the individual characteristics and objectives of specific dietetic internships. This course will introduce students to this process and help them with the skills needed to clarify their goals and complete the materials needed for a dietetic internship application.
