Adagio Health Dietetic Internship Mission


To graduate knowledgeable, competent, dietetic professionals who will be prepared to practice in diverse community-based venues while using business management skills innovatively and effectively.



First recognized as an Approved Pre-Professional Practice Program (AP4) by the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics in August 1991, the Adagio Health dietetic internship received full accreditation in July 1997. Adagio Health is a nonprofit organization that serves more than 150,000 people in western Pennsylvania each year through direct healthcare, preventive health education and nutrition programs. For more information on Adagio Health visit www.adagiohealth.org.

The internship provides a minimum of 1200 hours of practice experience, as well as approximately 600 hours of didactics. The internship is administered by Adagio Health faculty and supervised by registered dietitians at affiliated sites throughout the Pittsburgh area.
 
Adagio Health's Dietetic Internship exposes the intern to a variety of sites within each area of practice. Working with their mentors, interns are able to focus on programs of study that are tailored to their own backgrounds and professional interests.

The minimum 1200 hours of practice experience required by the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics can be completed on a full-time basis (40 hours per week) in 9 months.
