Thank you for your interest in the North Oaks Medical Center Dietetic Internship (NOMC DI) program located in Hammond, Louisiana. The supervised practice program is designed to prepare entry-level Registered Dietitian Nutritionists who are committed to the profession of dietetics and provide safe, courteous, compassionate care that improves the lives of patients.
Interns can expect to spend at least 24 hours per week participating in supervised practice activities. Our program is unique in that it is a part-time program making part-time employment possible.
The NOMC DI offers two paths to completion:
Both tracks offer part-time supervised practice experiences. Interns are required to attend rotations 3 days per week.
Upon completion of the program, graduates will receive a verification statement and will be eligible to take the CDR credentialing exam for dietitian nutritionists.
The NOMC DI accepts nine interns each year through computerized matching in the spring.
