About us
Sodexo, founded in 1966 in France, is a publicly-held corporation that delivers an array of services, nationally and globally. Sodexo manages facilities and provides multiple services in the following market segments: hospitals, senior living facilities, schools, universities, government, leisure, and corporate services. The diversity of potential internship sites allows Sodexo Dietetic Interns to complete their supervised practice in a variety of settings. As a result, we graduate self-directed leaders who are empowered to improve the health and wellness of others, and to advance the field of dietetics.
The Sodexo Dietetic Internship is the merger of five previously independent dietetic internships, all of which were sponsored by Sodexo. The first Sodexo internship originated in Allentown in 1982 as a collaboration between Lehigh Valley Hospital and Wood Dining Services. We now function as one very large program where we accept over 125 interns each year.
Being the World’s leading private employer of Registered Dietitian Nutritionists, our program has grown to be one of the nation’s leading Dietetic Internship Programs. The Sodexo Dietetic Internship offer expertise, training and a wide scope of employment opportunities for future dietetic professionals.
