The Baylor Dallas Dietetic Internship Program’s mission is to provide an atmosphere in which the dietetic intern can apply and augment the knowledge base acquired from the academic setting. The program strives to prepare qualified registered dietitian nutritionists for entry-level practice by imparting to each student the educational standards established by ACEND.
The MCN/DI is a 22-month program and includes graduate studies through Texas A&M University (on College Station campus) and supervised practice hours (at Baylor University Medical Center and the surrounding Dallas-Ft. Worth area) with a clinical/nutrition therapy concentration area for 12 individuals annually. Graduates of the program must complete all coursework and project requirements of the Masters of Clinical Nutrition and supervised practice to be eligible to receive a verification statement to be eligible to take the CDR credentialing exam to become a Registered Dietitian/Registered Dietitian Nutritionist (RD/RDN). Our program boasts 89% first-time pass rate on the Commission on Dietetic Registration (CDR) credentialing examination for Registered Dietitian Nutritionists (RDN) for the past three years.
