The Center for Health Sciences Education appreciates your interest in Cleveland Clinic’s internal health science
programs. This brochure is designed to provide a brief explanation of each program and names of individuals to
contact for more information.
You will note that the preadmission requirements and application process is unique for each program.
For example, some programs may require students to have a high school diploma or GED and a few college
courses, while others may require students to have a baccalaureate degree. Also, the instructional length of
programs varies from several weeks or months to 1 or 2 years. The Cleveland Clinic is not a degree granting
institution; therefore, students may not qualify for financial aid. (NOTE: The School of Diagnostic Imaging’s
Radiology Technology program is an exception. Their students are eligible for federal financial aid.) If you
are interested in a specific health science discipline and would like more information, you are encouraged to
contact the program director.

Cleveland Clinic Dietetic
Internship Program
A Registered Dietitian Nutritionist or an RDN is a food
and nutrition expert who helps individuals in a variety
of settings to make smart diet and lifestyle choices
and to improve their nutrition status during and after
illness or injury. RDNs may work in a clinical setting
to plan specialized diet interventions for patients who
are diagnosed with particular conditions. They can
also help patients who are unable to eat by mouth
and require feeding through a tube, IV or catheter.
Dietitians may also work with industry to set nutrition
guidelines and develop innovative food products or
practice in a community setting to counsel and provide
education to diverse populations. In the United States,
the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics’ Commission on
Dietetic Registration (CDR) grants RDN credentials to
individuals who complete requisite education, training
and examinations.
Program Details:
The The Cleveland Clinic Dietetic Internship is a 45-week
didactic and hands-on training program that maintains a
focus on clinical nutrition. The program is accredited by the
Accreditation Council for Education in Nutrition and Dietetics
(ACEND). Nine interns are selected each year for the program
through a competitive national match process. Interns spend
most of their time (28.8 weeks) in a clinical setting that allows
them to practice in several specialty areas, including: inpatient
care, outpatient counseling and education, critical care and
nutrition support, pediatrics, and endocrinology. To complement
the clinical experience, we offer to all of our interns a six-hour
nutrition-focused physical exam and malnutrition diagnosis and
assessment training using the on-campus simulation center.
Interns also work with Aramark Foodsystems for seven weeks
on our Main Campus or at our Regional Hospitals to complete
competencies related to patient and retail foodservice and
foodservice management. During spring and summer, interns have the flexibility to select elective rotations that best meet their
professional interests. Advanced clinical work is completed in the second half of the program, with the option to work in the
Cleveland Clinic’s Center for Gut Rehabilitation and Transplant and Home Parenteral Nutrition services, at a community dialysis
center, or with any other specialty option. All interns complete a two-week community/public health rotation and a two-week
sales and marketing rotation, but have the ability to select from sites across the U.S., as well as Northeast Ohio. Throughout the
program, interns are responsible for work on a research or quality improvement project to further demonstrate the value of the
RDN to the greater allied health and medical profession. Our program recognizes the importance of advanced education in the
dietetic profession. In fall 2013, the Cleveland Clinic Dietetic Internship partnered with Case Western Reserve University’s (CWRU)
Department of Nutrition to offer an optional Master’s degree in Nutrition to all interns accepted into our program. This academic
program is 18 months in length (27 credit hours), and interns are enrolled part-time in the first fall and spring of the program
and full-time in the last fall semester, resulting in a December graduation. Interns interested in pursuing this degree will work with
CWRU to determine financial aid assistance.
Cleveland Clinic Dietetic
Internship Program
Rosalind Franklin University (Chicago, IL) became an affiliate of Cleveland
Clinic’s Dietetic Internship Program. Dietetic interns accepted into Cleveland
Clinic’s program are also accepted into the graduate school at RFU and

Preadmission Requirements:
Candidates must complete a minimum of a bachelor’s degree at a U.S. (or international reciprocal) accredited university or
college, with coursework accredited or approved by the Accreditation Council on Education in Nutrition and Dietetics (ACEND)
through the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics. Proof of completed coursework should be presented in the form of a verification
statement prior to admission to the internship.
Like other nationally-accredited dietetic internship programs, the Cleveland Clinic Dietetic Internship Program participates in
DICAS (Dietetic Internship Centralized Application System), which accepts applicants each February. Interviews are granted to
top candidates for our program. In April, the top nine candidates will be digitally matched to our internship program via D&D
Digital Matching services.
Length of Time:
The internship is 11 months in length (45 weeks), starting in August and ending the last week of July. The program will result
in a certificate of completion, as well as a verification statement that allows graduates to sit for the National Examination for
Registered Dietitians.
Financial Aid:
Interns who are not enrolled in an academic program through our affiliate institutions may defer their student loans throughout
the duration of the internship program. Our program can also accept tuition payments through G.I. Bill funds.
