We are currently approved for 20 students and we will place up to 4 students in Hawaii. The application deadline is February of each year. The Mid-Atlantic Program is committed to providing the highest quality training possible in order for our graduates to become Registered Dietitians. Each hospital is capable of providing the intern with a unique, yet comprehensive training experience, enabling the intern to meet all of the entry-level performance requirements. In addition to this individualized approach to training, our dietetic interns receive the benefits of group synergy through didactic training, case studies, journal reviews, field trips, group projects and more.
Applicants often ask about the success of the programs in which they are interested.
One measure of our success is our excellent track record on the Registration Exam. The oldest of the Sodexho Marriott Services Dietetic Internship programs, Southcoast graduated 62 dietitians by the year 2000. Many of our graduates currently work for Sodexho Marriott Services and continue to support the program in a variety of ways such as precepting interns, teaching class days and referring jobs. Southcoast Hospitals has maintained a family atmosphere and remarkable community responsiveness despite being the largest community hospital health system in Massachusetts. Clinical experiences at Southcoast include open heart surgery, hemodialysis, critical care, oncology, general surgery, geriatrics, mental health, gastroenterology and transitional care.
