Students can apply to enter the Integrated Dietetic Internship program while in their third year of the Foods and Nutrition program. Completion of the degree program in Foods and Nutrition and the dietetic internship can be accomplished in just four-and-a-half years. Interns complete two months of placements in clinical nutrition and foods service settings following their third year in the FN program and seven months of placements in clinical nutrition, food service management and community nutrition settings after their fourth year in the FN program. Our interns participate in a wide variety of placements with registered dietitians across Canada, including in hospital, long term care, public health, community organizations, government and even private practice. Our dedicated full-time professional practice coordinator works closely with each intern throughout the duration of the internship program to develop an individualized training plan that adequately prepares the intern for entry into the dietetic profession.

What are some potential careers for graduates of the Integrated Dietetic Internship program?
Registered dietitians work in many settings, including hospitals, clinics and long-term care facilities where they work with patients and residents to help prevent and treat chronic disease like heart disease, diabetes and kidney disease. Other dietitians in these settings manage the food service, overseeing staff and ensuring that patients and residents are getting the food they need.
Dietitians also work in public health where they design and implement nutrition education programs for different target populations, work to reduce food insecurity and assist in the development of policies to improve the health of their communities.
Some dietitians work in private practice where they may do nutritional assessment and counselling for various groups such as those with chronic diseases or eating disorders or athletes on sports teams.
