Dietetic Internship Program
The dietetic internship, or supervised practice experience, is a critical requirement for careers in nutrition and dietetics. Cedars-Sinai Medical Center is an internship site for the Sodexo Dietetic Internship. Dietetic interns may complete a variety of supervised practice experiences (rotations) within a leading and nationally recognized healthcare facility. Cedars-Sinai is committed to training medical professionals of tomorrow while setting new standards for quality and innovation in patient care. Cedars-Sinai accepts students with diverse backgrounds.
About the Program
As an affiliate of the Sodexo Dietetic Internship, Cedars-Sinai Medical Center will continue to provide rich and unique learning experiences to dietetic interns. Interns can obtain a master’s degree through the affiliation between the Sodexo Dietetic Internship and the University of Rhode Island if they do not already have the degree.
Students who have/will complete their “Didactic Program in Dietetics” from an accredited ACEND university or college by Sept. 1 of each year, or who have completed the prerequisites courses for a graduate program in Dietetics should visit the Sodexo Dietetic Internship site at www.dieteticintern.com for more information.

Please note, Cedars-Sinai Medical Center does not have its own dietetic internship anymore and does not accept applicants directly. All students interested in completing rotations at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center must apply through the Sodexo Dietetic Internship and be invited to interview with the Cedars-Sinai team. Be sure to indicate you would like to be considered for Cedars-Sinai on your Sodexo application when prompted for location preferences. Failure to do so may result in your inability to be considered for rotations at Cedars-Sinai.
