Spring Match 2024
Traditional Path via DICAS Due February 15, 2024 (But start early, some steps take a long time). You'll create one application that you can use to apply to several programs. You rank them in order of preference, and April 7, 2024 you'll find out where you matched. You'll pay fees to DICAS, D&D Digital, and the $40 GTTN application fee.
New GTTN Early Admission Option - If you know GTTN is a top choice for you, apply directly to GTTN between Nov 15 and January 30th. You'll fill out an online form and submit a PDF that includes transcripts, DPD verification/intent to complete statements, and your personal statement. You'll get a reply from us within two weeks. If you are an accepted, you can skip the cost and stress of DICAS match; if you aren't a match for us, you'll have time to make other plans. |

OPTIONS for those without a Master's: Enroll in a Master's program before you apply or just after match day (we have a close relationship with the University of Alabama, Cedar Crest and John Patrick University; they all offer fully-remote degrees) In addition to your 1000 hours of supervised practice (and Master's coursework, if applicable), there are three required Garden to Table Nutrition DI courses: Orientation (online), On-Site in Washington (in-person), and bi-weekly Friday meetings (online).

We are excited to meet you in person this year! We look forward to exploring farms, wild edibles, and food systems together in/around Bothell, Washington. Your cohort will be the first to start learning new clinical CRDNs, including point-of-care testing (using finger-prick blood samples) blood pressure reading and bedside swallow screens. We’ll work on these clinical skills together so you are prepared for your rotations. |
Friday Meetings - RequiredWe’ll meet online on Fridays twice a month after On-Site. These are required. We suggest you arrange your schedule to either take Fridays off, or do half days on Fridays. You’ll need time to attend these meetings and to work on assignments and study for your RDN exam. Required meetings will be twice a month between 9:30 AM and 11:30 AM PST. We’ll use this time for your clinical case studies, presentations, guest speakers, and garden-to-table topics.
