Mission
Our program is designed to provide a learning experience which prepares the Interns to respond to the versatile demands of the Dietetics Profession. The program is based on the philosophy that the development of professional competency is contingent upon mastering skills of problem-solving and decision-making through evidence-based practice and a quest for excellence.
In addition, the program strives to give the Interns the necessary guidance and resources for future professional growth. It is the intention of the program to train Dietetic Interns to become entry-level Registered Dietitians. This is achieved, during our Dietetic Internship Program with a concentration in Clinical Dietetics.
