The interns participate in dietitian's meetings, Journal Club, classes planned by staff dietitians, physicians and other invited lecturers. Case studies and group participation are used to emphasize hands-on, practical and applicable learning. Southcoast graduates are currently working as general managers, research dietitians, and pediatric dietitians, in teaching hospitals, community settings and as clinical and chief dietitians in a variety of healthcare organizations. Call us to arrange to speak with a current intern or alumnus. The Southcoast Hospitals Dietetic Internship Program provides cultural opportunities and natural beauty with a reasonable cost of living less than an hour away from Boston, Providence, Newport and Cape Cod.
Housing is available through the program.
Our internship program provides hands-on training in hospitals throughout New York City, Northern New Jersey, Long Island and Westchester County, New York. This enhances an individual's ability to manage the challenges of both community and city hospitals. Only one intern is assigned to each primary site. Interns meet weekly as a group for classes designed to coincide with their learning modules and practical experiences. There are several field trips scheduled throughout the program, along with abstract presentations, case studies and projects.
