Program Overview
Garden To Table Nutrition offers a distance dietetic internship with 1,000 hours of supervised practice. Interns are responsible for finding their own preceptors, who will be screened by Garden to Table Nutrition. Applicants with a strong background in nutrition can apply for credit for prior learning, which, if granted would decrease the number of supervised practice hours needed. Local Food Production Concentration Dietetic Interns will spend 80 hours getting hands-on farm/garden experience: growing, harvesting, dehydrating, or canning food during their internship, either at our Washington community garden, or in a location they choose themselves. This prepares students to make a positive impact on their communities through the promotion of healthful nutrition and they will guide others in growing, harvesting, and preparing food. Computer Matching Potential interns should apply via DICAS, and finalists can expect a follow-up interview, if chosen (and if application fee is paid). During this interview, we will discuss your plan for rotations. You are not expected to submit your rotation plans prior to that. (See to right to pay required application fee.) We will not have a required in-person meeting We will all meet on Zoom for a 3-hour class, once a week, between June 14 - August 14th. You will one large project/presentation, and 4-6 hours of prep for each class with a combination of independent and group work. We may schedule an optional gathering in Washington once it is safe to do so. We are also offering alternative learning activities in case your rotations are impacted by COVID-19. Tuition $9,000 |
