COORDINATED DIETETIC INTERNSHIP / MASTER's DEGREE PROGRAM |
Program Overview
-
The Coordinated Dietetic Internship/Master's Degree program
(CDI/MDP), established in 1965, was the first program in
the country formed from the collaborative efforts of a
private university and independent medical facilities.
Graduate course work is offered in conjunction with supervised
practice experience at 2 separately accredited dietetic
internship programs where students master the core competencies
of dietetic practice.
Eleven months of supervised practice
experience are integrated at the participating hospitals
with 26 semester hours of graduate work over three academic
semesters at CWRU, leading to a Master of Science
in Nutrition.
This program coordinates with accredited
internships at Louis
Stokes Veterans Affairs Medical Center and University
Hospitals Case Medical Center
-
The Dietetic Internship Program at the Louis
Stokes Cleveland Department of Veterans Affairs Medical
Center offers all students specific emphasis in Nutrition Therapy,
Community Nutrition and Foodservice Systems Management.
The University Hospitals Case Medical Center Dietetic
Internship Program offers a general emphasis. Students are
eligible to take the Registration Examination for dietitians
upon completion of each 11-month dietetic internship
program. In accordance with 2008 Allegibility Requirements and Accreditation Standards (ERAS) our Dietetic Internship Programs are transitioning to offer a concentration in Research Processes and Applications.
Each
internship is currently granted accreditation by:
