Clinical Internship, Plant-based Focus and Optional MS in Nutrition and Wellness

Also enroll in our MS in Nutrition and Wellness with a plant-based/vegetarian focus. If you are accepted for the internship through DICAS, then an internal application is all that is needed to apply for the MS Nutrition and Wellness*

Program Highlights:

This program has a medical nutrition therapy (clinical) emphasis with a plant-based/vegetarian focus.
The internship is a 9-month supervised practice program that is conducted at affiliated hospital, community and food service sites located across the U.S. These rotations consist of 5 months of clinical nutrition, 2 months of foodservice management, and 1 month of community nutrition.
A pre-test is held virtually at the beginning of August, followed by an in-person 3-day orientation at Andrews University mid-August. Then rotations run from the end of August- end of April.
All accepted interns will enroll in a full-time program requiring 4 days per week and will complete at least 1016 supervised practice hours.
The internship can also count towards 12 credits of the MS Nutrition and Wellness degree for those who are dual-enrolled.
Early enrollment for DI available upon accepted enrollment into the MS Nutrition and Wellness program.

We were featured at All Access Dietetics during their program expo with a video on our program description.
