🌟 Embracing Interns: The Backbone of Innovation 🌟 Interns aren't just coffee runners or document filers. They're the lifeblood of fresh perspectives and untapped potential! 💡 Here's why we value our interns: 1️⃣ Diverse Perspectives: Interns inject new ideas and fresh viewpoints into our projects, challenging the status quo and sparking innovation. 2️⃣ Skill Development: Internships offer invaluable hands-on experience, nurturing talent and cultivating the leaders of tomorrow. 3️⃣ Bridging Generations: Interns bridge the gap between seasoned professionals and the digital-native generation, fostering collaboration and knowledge exchange. 4️⃣ Mutual Growth: As interns learn from us, we learn from them! It's a symbiotic relationship where both parties grow and evolve together. Want to learn more about the Key to Career program with Darlington County School District?

You only get one chance to complete your dietetic internship! Make the most of the experience by choosing rotation sites that align with your goals and dreams. In traditional internships, you are handed your schedule with no say over your experience and rotation sites. With KBDI, you get to interview your potential preceptors and make sure the projects and tasks align with the experience you want to gain. Although it can be challenging to reach out to preceptors, it is worth it! Swipe through our tips on way to reach out to potential preceptors. The biggest mistake most interns make is only reaching out to a site one time. They don't want to bother potential preceptors and automatically assume that no response is a "No". Stay persistent and reach out multiple times! It's likely your email was missed and they forgot to respond. Although it can take effort and time to secure preceptors, most distance dietetic interns report higher satisfaction with their rotation experiences. #rdn #dietitian #dieteticinternship

Early thoughts on the new Dietetic Internship Matching Process: I am a big fan and 5 of our 35 students this academic year have already secured internship spots. 3 of the 5 are not graduating until Spring 2025. The opportunity for a spring graduate to secure an internship in early October vs early April is awesome. They now have ample time to focus on finishing their upper-level DPD coursework, applying to graduate schools, and looking for apartments, which does wonders for the state of mind of these students. Is it difficult to manage all of the different priority deadlines? Yes, but that is what DPD Directors are for! At Texas Tech, we have an entire 3-hour course dedicated to DICAS and internship preparation every fall for our seniors. I see the difficulty for internship directors in this new system as they navigate application deadlines and recruiting but this change is a positive one that gives power to the students. I anticipate >75% of my group this year will have an internship secured before they start classes in the spring. From the DPD side, this is great news.
