For Graduate Program Interns Only: Comment on combining your graduate work with your internship.

What was the workload like?

Each rotation is different. The college requires the completion of detailed worksheets for each rotation and I had no fewer than 1 large progect or 10-15 small projects/rotation.
Describe your rotations and other professional experiences (field trips, seminars, workshops or professional conferences).

Describe where you lived during the internship and how you found housing.

Why did you choose to apply to this program?

The community based program certainly fit my interest. All aspects of dietetics are explored, however the basis of this internship is not clinical. For individuals with less clinical interest, or a greater desire to be innovative or to work for proactive nutrition, this is a gret fit. The internship director and coordinator work hard to place interns at sites that meet their needs.
For Distance Program Interns Only: Comment on doing a distance program.

Did the internship have any perks compared to other internships?

Describe your patient population.

Children, Adolescents, Pregnant Women, Elderly, Adults
Please comment on paying for this internship.

Savings, Parents' help
