dietetic internship — rochester
Program Update
16 MSHS CONNECTIONS • Graduation 2010
The dietetic internship Program marked
its 80th year in 2010. We had our 10-year
reaccreditation site visit in april by the
Commission on accreditation of dietetics
Education (CadE) of the american dietetic
association. the no. 1 program strength noted
in the initial site visit report was the program
preceptors. according to the report, “the
preceptors are expert in their practice areas,
serve as role models for the interns, and as a
resource after graduation.”
the dedication and expertise of our preceptors
are particularly appreciated by both the dietetic
internship graduates and program director. the
commission will review the site visit report and
comments at its november 2010 meeting. the
MSHS program expects to be notified of CadE’s
decision in late fall.
