Adagio Health’s Dietetic Internship is an intensive, generalist, community-based
program providing instruction and supervised experience in all areas
of dietary practice. It provides dietetic professionals with an opportunity
to increase their knowledge of food and nutrition science and to acquire
the competencies needed to practice dietetics in both traditional and
community settings. Upon successful completion of the program, each
intern will receive a Verification of Completion Certificate and be
registration eligible.
First recognized as an Approved Pre-Professional Practice Program (AP4)
by the American Dietetic Association in August 1991, the Adagio Health
dietetic internship received full accreditation in July 1997.
The internship provides a minimum of 1000 hours of practice experience,
as well as a minimum of 400 hours of didactics. The program length is nine months which includes holiday breaks. The internship is administered
by Adagio Health faculty and supervised by registered dietitians at
affiliated sites throughout the Pittsburgh area.
Designed to emphasize community-based experiences, the internship has
the primary goal of preparing dietetic professionals to practice in
community-based nutrition programs and to use community resources effectively.
Adagio Health's Dietetic Internship exposes the intern to a variety
of sites within each area of practice. Working with their mentors, interns
are able to focus on programs of study that are tailored to their own
backgrounds and professional interests.
