Rapids, Waterloo, Burlington, Davenport/Quad Cities area; perhaps Ottumwa,
Sioux City, and the Southwest Iowa District Dietetics Association.
*Interns are required to be in Ames, Iowa for the week of Orientation (8 days) and Iowa City for the week of Clinical Beginnings and Jean Inman Review Course (8 days).
NOTE: Do not assume you will be placed in the Ames/Des
Moines area. The Ames/Des Moines area includes Fort Dodge, Grinnell,
Marshalltown and other facilities within a one-hour drive.
NOTE: The program faculty have identified qualified preceptors
throughout the state of Iowa. Although these preceptors have agreed
to work with the program, actual participation per internship class
may change due to the fluctuating demands of the real-world work
place. If you are selected into this program, you may be assigned
to a preceptor location not previously listed in these materials
or that you did not select. Of course, you have the option to decline
the appointment if you are not satisfied with your assigned location. | 10 - 15 interns will be matched for the Nationwide Option.
For those interested in completing the Dietetic Internship
in their own geographic location, the Iowa State University Dietetics
Internship is able to offer a completely nationwide education format
to qualified applicants. This means that the student may complete
the DI where they live - they do not need to move to Iowa to complete
the program.
*Interns are required to be in Ames, Iowa for the week of Orientation (8 days) and Iowa City for the week of Clinical Beginnings and Jean Inman Review Course (8 days). Arrangements for transportation,
meals, and lodging during these days are the responsibility of the
intern. Because this program uses a distance education format with
online technology you are encouraged to visit the Illinois
Online Network website to self evaluate your readiness for online
learning. Another helpful link is "What
Makes a Successful Online Students". |
