Our program is one of the oldest and most well established programs in the nation.  We have trained 1000+ future dietitians to become leaders and difference makers in the areas of food and nutrition.  Over the past five years, 93% of Vanderbilt's Dietetic Internship graduates have successfully completed the registration examination on their first attempt.

Our current class of interns began on August 17, 2011 and will graduate on June 20, 2012.
