Mission and Accreditation
WVU Medicine’s mission is to improve the health of West Virginians and all we
serve through excellence in patient care, research and education. Equally
important, WVU Medicine is committed by law and philosophy to be the primary
clinical site for the education and research programs of the West Virginia
University Robert C. Byrd Health Sciences Center.
The Dietetic Internship Program at WVU Medicine is designed to prepare entry-
level generalist dietitians for employment in current and future roles with an
emphasis on medical nutrition therapy. The program should enable the student to
recognize the continuous changes in the profession of dietetics and in the realm
of healthcare. The provision of an educational environment that is stimulating to
the student and effective in providing professional growth is the intent of this
internship.
The West Virginia University Hospitals Dietetic Internship Program is
administered by the Department of Nutrition Services of WVU Hospitals, which is
the teaching hospital of WVU. These both work in conjunction with the Robert C.
Byrd Health Sciences Center Medical School.
WVU Hospital’s Dietetic Internship (DI) is a post-baccalaureate program
providing students with the supervised practice experience required for eligibility
to become a Registered Dietitian. This would then qualify you for Licensure in
the state of West Virginia.
The West Virginia University Hospitals Dietetic Internship Program is granted
accreditation status through 2024 by:
Accreditation Council for Education in Nutrition and Dietetics
The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics
120 South Riverside Plaza, Suite 2000
Chicago, IL 60606-6995
