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. 
Our spring match cohort includes a required 5-day "On-Site" in WA, while our Fall Match cohort is fully remote.
Note: COVID vaccination is a requirement for Spring Match. ​
​
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.)

​Please see the Fall Match 2023 tab for more details.
Fall 2023 cohort will be fully remote, with no travel to Washington required. 
Fall interns are welcome to come to Washington in the summer of 2024 to participate in our 5 day "on-site" with the Spring 2024 cohort.  

Tuition  $9,000 
​(NOTE: There will be a monthly fee of $100 per month if your program length is extended beyond nine months.) Note: COVID vaccination is a requirement for programs with an in-person component. ​
