What is the Winthrop University Dietetic Internship entrance examination?
This examination is modeled after the National Dietetic Registration Examination (RD exam) given by the ADAs Commission on Dietetic Registration (CDR). Similar to the RD exam, the major areas covered on the exam include food science, normal nutrition, community nutrition, nutrition therapy, education and research, foodservice systems, and management. The examination is administered on the Sunday prior to the Internship interviews on Monday. The applicants score on this exam provides the Internship selection committee with an additional tool for assessing the students readiness for the Winthrop University Dietetic Internship. The exam is mostly multiple-choice, plus one or two short-answer questions, and takes approximately two hours to complete.
