All incoming dietetic
interns will be required to submit the following documentation prior to the
first day of intern orientation:
Verification Statement
from their DPD Program including date of completion (month, day, year)
and original signature of the DPD director in non-black ink
Final transcript from
their university, showing that their degree has been conferred.
Upon receipt of this
documentation, the Internship Director will review the forms to verify
completeness and accuracy. Any problems identified with the documentation
will be resolved by the Internship Director, intern and DPD director.
Interns will not be allowed to begin orientation without these documents in
their file.
EXCEPTION: If the intern completes degree requirements during the summer
before the start of the internship, the transcript may not be complete by
the start of the internship. In this case, it is recommended that the
intern wait for 1-2 months before requesting a final transcript. The DPD
verification will still be required before orientation, however.
Upon completion of all
requirements of the internship (hours, competencies and assignments), the
Internship Director will submit the required paperwork to the Commission on
Dietetic Registration.
The Internship Director
will issue 4 copies of the Supervised Practice Verification Statement to the
intern. One original of the Verification Statement will be kept in the
intern’s permanent file.
