The program offers a unique opportunity for aspiring dietitians to gain hands-on experience in a vibrant Veteran-based community. Nestled in the beautiful Florida coastline, this internship
provides a comprehensive curriculum that blends clinical nutrition, community outreach, and food service management. Interns will benefit from training by experienced, highly skilled
preceptors, engaging in a variety of settings, (adult-geriatric) including inpatient and outpatient clinics, Whole Health, MOVE!, Healthy Teaching Kitchen, as well as public health.
The WPBVAHCS DI provides supervised practice experience in medical nutrition therapy, community and food service. An elective rotation will be provided in the area of nutrition research.
Interns will complete the majority of the supervised experience at our state-of-the-art main campus site in West Palm Beach, FL. Potential opportunities may arise to rotate in two VA
operated outpatient clinics in Delray Beach and Port Lucie as well as five contracted operated clinics in Boca Raton, Stuart, Vero Beach, Ft Pierce and Okeechobee. The goal is to offer
diverse learning experiences in 41 weeks, which will prepare students for a variety of positions in the field of nutrition and dietetics.
The WPBVAHCS serves approximately 60,000 Veterans in South Florida and Treasure Coast. At all times, we embrace our I.C.A.R.E. values of Integrity, Commitment, Advocacy, Respect and
Excellence.
