Questions To Ask

Questions to consider in making your selection:

  • What is my long term goal?
  • Do I want a dietetic internship or a combined dietetic internship with graduate credit?
  • What area of emphasis is most important to me?
  • What programs have rotations that meet my long term goal and preference for emphasis?
  • What area of the country would be the most appropriate choice for me?
  • How soon would I be ready to start an internship?  Can I start in May or do I need to earn money over the summer before the program begins?
  • How much does the program cost and can I afford the program?
  • How many dietetic interns does the program accept?
  • What criteria does the program have for acceptance?  Do I meet the criteria?
  • Try to match your strengths to a program that is looking for those strengths.  For example, if you have significant work experience, search for a program where work experience is a primary feature of the selection process.
