Each year the Dietetic Internship Director appoints a Selection Committee to review and rank applicants on the basis of their application packet (described below). Interviews are not conducted.
An Open House is held each January to acquaint applicants with the internship. The Open House for the 2007-2008 program was held on Friday, January 12, 2007. The anticipated date for the 2008 internship is Friday, January 18. The Open House allows attendees to learn more specifics about the internship, meet and talk with current interns and preceptors and tour Emory University Hospital.
If you would like to attend the Open House in 2008, please email us at dietetic.internship@emoryhealthcare.org. You will receive a reply with the time, locations and directions.
