Welcome to DIY!

This is a highly specialized blog, possibly only of interest to students who are in the midst of a didactic program in dietetics and looking forward to the internship application process next year, or who, like me, will be beginning a dietetic internship in 2009-10. It might also be interesting to those of you who have already completed your internships and are now officially RDs (congratulations!), about to start your careers in this challenging field.

I'm going to document my DIY -- dietetic internship year -- to provide a little insight into the process for those who are anticipating it themselves, to act as a companion for those who are going through it along with me, and to elicit advice and nostalgic commentary from those of you who have finished your internships.

It'll be a slow start, since I'm still in the last quarter of my masters program. Check in now and then over the summer as I write about getting ready for the internship, and by late September I'll be going full-force as my internship begins.

Be well!
