The management concentration is intended for interns who are interested in a management career in food and nutrition services. There are increasing opportunities for Registered Dietitian Nutritionists with management skills and technical expertise to lead these departments, not only in hospitals and nursing homes but also in other settings, like schools. During this concentration, interns will be precepted by experienced Sodexo managers. Interns will have the opportunity to further refine the competencies developed during the food service management rotation and to acquire additional competencies required for management positions in their preferred area of focus - Patient/Resident Dining; Clinical Nutrition Management, Schools or Corporate Food Service.
The concentration includes 5 weeks focusing on both technical and soft skills in managing food and nutrition services. The interns will rotate through each major area of the food and nutrition department culminating in a 2-week stint as a relief manager in the intern’s preferred area of focus.
