WHAT OUR STUDENTS SAY

Getting a mentor early on, especially if you’re in the Dietetics program, is huge, just because there are so many different little steps. You definitely need to know your specialty going in, before the internship. You really have to know like a year before because each internship is going to have a specialty.
