With the increasing rate of overweight and obesity, Sodexo Dietetic Internships recognizes the demand for dietetics professionals who are trained in the field of weight management. Our Weight Management Concentration is an ideal choice for interns, who have an interest in working with patients to achieve and maintain weight loss through behavioral, pharmaceutical, and surgical options.
Weight Management Interns
- Have the opportunity to work with Registered Dietitians and healthcare professionals in a variety of weight management programs.
- Learn and teach the behavioral techniques necessary to achieve and maintain a healthy weight and manage the chronic diseases, which often coexist with obesity.
- Attend and participate in individual and group weight loss sessions.
- Though the emphasis of our concentration is adult weight management, there may also be opportunities to work with the pediatric population in an outpatient setting.
