As one of the nation’s leading employers of dietitians, we appreciate and recognize the need for skilled and well-trained dietitians. The internship enables interns to train under dedicated professional dietetic leadership and gain practical experience in various settings, incorporating current trends and requirements to become a successful professional.

Morrison Healthcare Dietetic Internship offers an innovative learning experience customized to the intern's location. The goal is to educate and train the next generation of dietitians. Hence, they are excited about establishing and maintaining a lifelong career, seeking nutrition-related employment in areas where they want to build a career, and giving back to the profession by being competent and enthusiastic professionals.

Our ACEND-accredited internship is structured to enable interns to complete the required competencies necessary to meet the exam requirements set by the Commission on Dietetic Registration.  Applicants must hold a minimum of a bachelor's degree from a U.S. regionally accredited university or college or foreign equivalent determined by a recognized credentialing agency and a verification statement from an ACEND-approved Didactic Program in Dietetics.
