Supervised Practice Sites

Variety of Experiences

The SIUC Dietetic Internship Program places students in two practice sites (selected from a possible 19) located throughout our regional area. This allows our program to tailor each student's supervised practice experience to his or her professional goals and objectives. Varied institutions and preceptors provide a wide variety of experiences that prepare students for their careers in dietetics
