Dietetic Internship Program

About the Dietetic Internship Program

Thank you for your interest in the Premier Health Dietetic Internship located primarily at Miami Valley Hospital in Dayton, Ohio. We understand your goals of optimal experiences, shorter time, and reasonable costs and believe that we can exceed your expectations as you prepare for your future! We can individualize your path with unique rotations for your personal needs and professional development.

Combined Program with University of Dayton

We have partnered with the University of Dayton to offer a combined Dietetic Internship and Master's Degree in Dietetics and Nutrition (MDN) (Advanced Dietetics and Nutrition Graduate Certificate for those with master’s degrees) over a 17-month period for reasonable cost. This partnership facilitates holistic learning and development of students through courses that complement the individualized rotations unique to an 1,100 bed, Level I Trauma Center and Teaching Hospital with an expansive system, small hospital, food service, and community experience to best prepare for your registration exam.

This combination will better prepare students for the future of dietetics since a master’s degree is now required to take the registration exam for dietitians.

What We Look For in Applicants

In addition to nutrition-related work experience and a desire to engage in experiential learning, our ideal applicant exhibits compassion, respect, and integrity towards themselves and others. As a partnered program, we are committed to upholding an inclusive and diverse environment where differences are welcomed and celebrated, encouraging every intern to voice their ideas and empowering them to make evidence-based decisions in collaboration.
