Students will generally be scheduled for experience at six facilities: one clinical, one public health, one outpatient clinic, one school food service, one hospital food service, and one agency on aging. The public health assignment will be based on students’ geographic preference, prior experiences, and site availability. The length of time spent at each site is shown below; this listing does not necessarily represent the order of site assignment.

• Public Health -- 8 weeks

• School Food Service -- 4 weeks

• Hospital Food Service -- 2 weeks

• Choice Week -- 1 week

• Inpatient Clinical -- 14 weeks
  (Hospital and Long-term Care)

• Outpatient Clinical -- 4 weeks

In addition, a student will spend one week at a site of his/her choosing for additional experience to be based on interest or need, as well as attend professional conferences related to nutrition. This rotation will be planned either in conjunction with the initial Internship rotation plan or on an “as available” basis if the student is able to identify a site only after direct Internship experience. Students will receive a rotation schedule at least 30 days prior to starting the Internship. Students are requested to convey personal vacation and research time needs to facilitate the development of a functional schedule and minimize schedule modifications during supervised experience.
