Do VA Internships offer opportunities to work with other populations?
Yes. All of the VA dietetic internship programs have affiliations within their communities that allow interns to work with other patient populations. Examples of other populations encountered through VA internship programs include working with women and children in the Women, Infants, and Children program (WIC); pediatric populations in school, community, and hospital settings; and exposure to men and women of varying race, culture, and other demographic factors through community and health promotion rotations and field trips.
