Overview
The Dietetic Internship Program places interns throughout Portland, Southwest Washington, Southern Oregon and Bend for supervised practice, giving interns the opportunity to experience nutrition care in urban, suburban, and rural settings.
Supervised practice rotations provide students with experience in community, food service, clinical, and specialty practice settings. Students practice and apply principles and skills in dietetics and nutrition to real situations under the guidance of professionals in the field. Supervised practice generally occurs Tuesdays through Fridays each week throughout the Dietetic Internship Program.
Suitable placements for supervised practice are developed by the Dietetic Internship Director and Associate Dietetic Internship Director. Students are assigned to a primary placement site for the majority of their supervised practice; however, several external rotations give students the opportunity to experience working in a variety of other settings, which include distance or rural locations. Students complete one rural rotation during their supervised practice rotations in locations such as Astoria, Coos Bay, Seaside, Warm Springs, Madras/Bend, Redmond, and Pendleton. Distance between the students' primary placement and practice sites may vary and extended distances may occur.
