Program Overview

Program Overview

The Simmons Dietetic Internship Program is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Education in Nutrition and Dietetics (ACEND). This program prepares students as entry-level practitioners ready to take the Registered Dietitian (RD) exam. Upon passing the RD exam, graduates are eligible for licensure in states with licensure laws.


Program Accreditation

The Simmons Dietetic Internship Program is accredited by ACEND and provides at least 1,000 hours of supervised practice. Students graduate with the knowledge and practical skills necessary to be eligible to take the Registered Dietitian (RD) examination administered through the Commission on Dietetic Registration (CDR).


Program Requirements

  • Satisfactory completion of both the coursework and the supervised practice components is required to receive a dietetic internship verification statement, stating the program graduate is eligible to take the Commission on Dietetic Registration's RDN exam.
    • This verification statement is a critical step towards becoming a registered dietitian.

Post-Graduation Credentials

  • After successfully passing the RDN exam, the individual can use the RDN credential.
  • The RDN credential requires maintenance through continuing education as required by CDR.
    • Additionally, dietitians may need to maintain licensure for their state, if applicable.
