IBD Dietitian Apprenticeship

• Candidates must be RDs (registered dietitians) and ideally, hold a graduate degree. Experience in IBD is not required.
• Personal statement that speaks to how this training will facilitate the expansion of IBD nutrition services at their place of employment.
• Two letters of recommendation, including at least one from a current or recent (within the past year) supervisor and/or mentor.
• Letter of support from applicant’s leadership to fully participate in apprenticeship (eg supervisor, manager, department chair).
• Declaration of intent to complete the program.
• We will be prioritizing candidates who: (a) plan to pursue IBD nutrition as their career focus and/or (b) work in an underserved area.

Space is limited to one RD per 6-month period. The successful applicant must commit to spending the full 6 months in Los Angeles. The Apprentice will be given priority access to attend the Advanced Dietary IBD Education and Training Executive Program during their Apprenticeship, and will be strongly encouraged to complete the Executive program before/after their Apprenticeship.

Potential candidates will be notified around March, followed by virtual interviews and apprentice selection in March/April.

The apprentice will receive a monthly salary and a housing stipend.
