Hello, Spring!
Interested in turning flowers (dandelion, rose, lavender) or other botanicals (berries, roots, leaves, bark) into a simple syrup? Now is a great time to do some wildcrafting, research, plant ID, food science and recipe development. Program Outcome Data is available upon request.
In 2018, Garden To Table Nutrition was granted "candidacy status" by the Accreditation Council for Education in Nutrition and Dietetics (ACEND), the accrediting agency for the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics. As a new internship with "candidacy status," Garden To Table Nutrition has the approval of ACEND to run an internship program. We can accept interns just like any other internship program and is in the process applying for full accreditation. The graduates from an ACEND candidacy program are the same as graduates from any other program and can sit for the Registration Exam after they have successfully completed the internship. COVID 19 UPDATE:
GTTN has been adapting our internship as needed to help our interns meet the requirements to become RDNs. Main Modifications:

Garden To Table Nutrition Dietetic Internship
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.
