New York Internships
I had an assignments to research Dietetic Internships and I chose two in New York.
1. New York University Dietetic Internship in New York, NY
This program is 13 months long.
The deadline to apply is February 15, 2009.
Interns can start in January or September.
40 interns are accepted annually.
NYU offers rotations in Clinical Nutrition Therapy, Community Nutrition, Food Service Management, NYU Pediatric Dental Clinic, etc.
*Applicants must apply and gain acceptance into the Clinical Nutrition M.S., the interns must complete 5 graduate courses before entering supervised clinical practice. Thus, the internship courses fulfill 18 of the 40 credits need for a MS degree in Nutrition & Dietetics.
I like the NYU internship because it offers a graduate degree. I would definitely take advantage of the fact that I have to complete nearly half of the graduate credits for my internship. It would be a shame to not complete the other half! With just an additional 20 credits, you could walk away with an R.D. as well as an M.S. :) I've also been to NYU and loved the location. There is no place like NYC, and I can only imagine the crazy nutritional opportunities that I would be presented with! Also, 40 interns are accepted annually, which is great, but I'm sure NYU undergrads have an advantage. This internship is a bit longer than most, but worth it I'm sure.
2. The Cornell Dietetic Internship in Ithaca, NY
The program is 10 months long.
The application deadline is January 15, 2009.
Interns start in mid August.
10 internships are accepted annually.
Cornell offers rotations in Community Nutrition (WIC, School Lunch, Cornell Cooperative Extension, Nutrition Program for the Elderly, etc.), Management (state of the art room service production, retail, purchasing, employee education), and Clinical (The University of Rochester Medical Center; pediatrics, surgery, etc.).
**The first time pass on the RD exam of Cornell graduates has been 100% for the past 5 years. ***Each intern is required to conduct a research project during their community nutrition rotation. Then, they must present their results at the New York State Dietetic Association Annual Meeting.
Cornell sounds like a great internship too. Although I'm not currently interested particularly in nutritional research, I think it's definitely something important I should look into. Having a research project of this caliber under my belt would be fantastic. Hopefully, I would be able to research something especially meaningful to me, and if I liked it enough, take it into the future. I've never been to Rochester, have a friend who went to college there though...10 interns is a lot more competitive than NYU.
These are only 2! I wish I could do this for every single internship in the country ;) I'll work on that! Haha
PS. I start volunteering in the kitchen at St. Vincent de Paul on Friday. Can't wait!
A Su Salud,
