Priority Nutrition Care Distance Dietetic Internship

A unique full time 6 month (or less with PAL credit) Distance Dietetic Internship Program based in the Metropolitan Boston area, during which you will make life-long friends from other parts of the country while completing your Internship, enjoy the support of your family and friends, save money on relocation, rent, food and transportation, network and make contacts for future employment right where you live. We are a large Internship (accredited for 143 Interns annually), but we maintain a small Internship culture by having our Interns working in small groups throughout Our Program.  The Clinical, Food Service and Community rotations are equally divided into 6 weeks each and the culminating Elective rotation is 7 weeks in length.

WE PARTICIPATE IN BOTH FALL AND SPRING MATCHES.

What make the Priority Nutrition Care Distance DI unique?

Save Money, Stay Close to Home, Plan for the Future

Plan your life without worrying about the implications of relocating to complete your Internship. Because we are a distance program, our interns can save money by staying close to home and avoiding the costs of relocation and make connections by networking with potential future employers in their communities, while enjoying the support of family and friends.
