Your Bridge to the Future of Dietetics
Interns should be available for a minimum of 40 hours per week for 30 weeks/1200 hours of supervised practice.
The Program is a general program preparing graduates to be employed in ANY area of dietetics and where graduates are also employed. As required, it has a Program Concentration of a Nutrition Leadership Project also in ANY area of dietetics—about 5-6 weeks in length. This rotation provides Interns the opportunity to practice leading and managing a nutrition project they ELECT, utilizing the 5 Phases of Project Management and Instructional Systems Design (ADDIE). (A project has a finite end where as a future program does not have an end point.) This project is much like a capstone in a MS-degree level program, but is shorter in duration.Project Management competence is also included in ACEND’s future, new model for education in nutrition and dietetics!
Intern Group Meetings, (some programs call them classes), are at a relatively central location for the Program (usually in the Santa Rosa, CA area). Although each Intern may reside near their geographical rotations, they are required to travel and attend these meetings. These meetings are for teaching and learning (didactics) and are integral to the GGDI Program and supervised practice. The meeting are opportunities for interns to lead and manage by leading and facilitating meetings. As much as possible, the program is intern-focused because these adults are now college graduates and will be treated as such. Meetings also focus on material for CDR’s Registration Examination for Dietitians for future employment.
NOTE: During extenuating events, such as with COVID-19 that prohibit larger group gatherings, these meetings take place via ZOOM, online discussions, and electronic presentations asynchronously. Attendance, contribution and collaboration of these replacement activities remain Program completion requirements. At each meeting, an intern still leads the meeting—opportunities to practice skills required now and in the the future!
Occasionally, these meetings coincide with a hosted professional conference or field trip. However, due to COVID-19, these are a rarity, for now.
