We are excited to offer a dietetic internship in an innovative, 1100 bed, Level I Trauma, and Teaching Hospital System and more in an expansive system, which opens many opportunities for you.!

We partner with the University of Dayton to offer a Master’s Degree in Dietetics and Nutrition as well as a Dietetic Internship Program. This combination will better prepare students for the future of dietetics as we near 2024 when a master’s degree will be required to take the registration exam.

We accept applications in the fall (from the UD graduate portal) and spring (for remaining seats from DICAS/D&DDigital) from students who are in their last year in or have graduated from any accredited dietetics program and have a Verification Statement or Intent to Complete letter.  Our interns must also be accepted into the University of Dayton Master’s Degree Program in Dietetics and Nutrition.
