Dietetic Internship Introduction

Cornell University, known for its excellence in research, teaching and extension, is proud to partner with The University of Rochester Medical Center (URMC) in Rochester, NY, to offer a Dietetic Internship with a research concentration, which provides in‐depth, intensive community, clinical, management, and research experiences. These experiences ensure our graduates are ready for evidence-based practice as registered dieticians, for leadership in that practice, and for translational research to inform that practice. The internship begins in the fall in the beautiful Finger Lakes region at Cornell University in Ithaca, NY and surrounding areas and transitions in January to the University of Rochester Medical Center (URMC), an 800 bed, tertiary and trauma care facility, in Rochester, NY. We seek strong candidates with the potential to develop into exceptionally qualified and competent registered dietitians, who are committed to the profession and standards of excellence,  successfully employed, and who critically apply research, their knowledge and enhanced skills to practice.
