 Key highlights include:

• The program director places interns in a variety of supervised practice experiences based on intern's geographical location, interests, and prior experience, as well as program director's experience with matching interns with preceptors. 
• The Greater San Francisco Bay Area is a highly diverse and vibrant community and interns will have opportunities to work with diverse populations. 
• The four core faculty have all been teaching in the program for over four years and are supportive and approachable. 
• Interns are in a cohort of 14 and take classes together, and provide support and resources to each other. 

Only students who have completed or are near completion of baccalaureate degree and a Didactic Program in Dietetics (DPD) are eligible to apply for this internship.

Interns will need to be cleared by background check, fingerprinting, and drug screening.
