I wanted to commend the strength of Sodexo's dietetic internship that has been demonstrated during this challenging time (COVID-19) with suspensions of interns’ rotations at multiple sites and to praise our current intern, Julie, in particular. Julie is a very strong intern and very well-prepared. She is intrinsically motivated and studies material on her own time. Julie said she feels well-supported and challenged by the internship process. We are lucky to have her! I look forward to continuing our partnership with your program.

First and foremost I was extremely impressed with how integrated Jackie was with our team at Caron. She was willing to jump in just about anywhere and lend a hand. Jackie was certainly motivated and often took initiative.
Her project was a Chef’s on stage in our Signature NEAG dining room and her theme was “healthy holiday desserts”. She worked along side our baker and made these Tahini Chocolate chip cookies - THEY WERE AMAZING. I could go on and on about how great she did for her food service management portion of her internship but I will just say yesterday was her last day and I felt like a valued member of my team was leaving us. |

I can’t say enough good things about this internship! It opened so many unique opportunities that, I feel, most other internships don’t. I was especially impressed by the number of concentrations that this internship allows their interns to choose from. I was able to accomplish so many of my professional goals, including becoming a graduate student and, inevitably, receive a Master’s in Nutrition and Food Sciences. I have made so many wonderful connections with my fellow interns as well as professional RDN’s. The homework assignments were highly correlated with my hands-on experience and helped me to be more confident in my nutrition knowledge as a dietetic intern. I felt like I had a strong support system from the Sodexo directors and fellow interns. I loved every experience and I am so excited for the next step in becoming a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist and the opportunities that will open for me! Thank you to the Sodexo distance team for seeing my potential and choosing me to be one of your interns! Thank you for everything it has given me! Thank you!

My experience with Sodexo Dietetic Internships has shaped my future career in a way I never thought possible. The directors and preceptors throughout my experience were dedicated, supportive and inspiring. The hands-on education and supervised practice that I received for the past 9 months has well prepared me as an entry-level Registered Dietitian Nutritionist. The internship made finding a job effortless. I completed my internship in May, passed my exam a few weeks later, and started work immediately. Not only was I hired at the site where I interned, but I got the position I longed for in long term care, as I was a Senior Living concentration intern. The entire process was seamless from start to finish and I couldn’t be happier with my choice of DI program.

From the start, the Sodexo Internship and programs directors exceeded my expectations. Knowing that I had a special interest in pediatrics, they tried to provide me with every opportunity within the field. One highlight of my time in the internship was spending part of my clinical rotation at The Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia. All the program directors, went above and beyond, allowed me to be an independent learner and yet were never more than a call or e-mail away when I had concerns. I feel they had a personal stake in my success and did everything they could to ensure it. Another great aspect of the internship was the abundance of study materials and practice exams to help prepare me for the RD exam. Thanks to Sodexo’s structure and support system, you truly will feel ready for anything that may come your way on test day or beyond!

I believe I was blessed with one of the very best internship experiences an intern can ask for. The full support of the internship directors has allowed me to exponentially grow into a professional. I am very satisfied with my experience with Sodexo Dietetic Internships and very grateful for the lifelong skills I acquired and refined during this period. I am ready to jump into the professional world and I couldn’t have done it without all the support I have received in the past 10 months.

The Sodexo Dietetic Internship was my first choice because of its flexibility to pursue specific areas of interest. I was happy to find that they were just as advertised throughout my internship. The directors are quick to respond to emails and support the interns any way they can. Being able to set up rotations in the area where you would like to practice allows the intern to establish very valuable professional connections. The interns choose from a variety of concentrations including critical care, leadership, diabetes, senior living, pediatrics, weight management, wellness, and culinary. Spending 232 hours in your specific area of interest allows you to gain valuable experience and skills to become a well-rounded entry level dietitian.
