Rotation Sites

Locations

There are three rotations required during the supervised practice in the Dietetic Internship Program. Our rotation sites are available throughout Illinois and Missouri and are at facilities that differ in size, services provided and patient groups.

The location of the rotations for a student’s dietetic internship are provided to each student in the spring semester of the first year of the program. Based on student’s preferences and sites available, you may be required to relocate at least once during your dietetic internship for one or more rotation sites.
