The Graduate and Professional Development programs of the Society
are led by the
Graduate and Professional Education Committee; the
Subcommittee for Professional Nutrition Education; the
Subcommittee for Continuing Medical
Education; and the
three Councils of the society, the Medical Nutrition Council;
the Nutrition Sciences Council; and the International Nutrition
Council.
We offer:
The ASN Clinical Nutrition Internship Program is designed to
increase the role of nutrition in the practice of medicine,
medical research, health promotion, and disease prevention by
providing a unique combination of educational experiences to
medical students.
Each student will work under a recognized authority in clinical
nutrition in a U.S. medical school or hospital. A list of
available mentors, all members of The American Society for
Nutrition, will be presented to each successful applicant, upon
notification of acceptance, from which they may select their
mentor. The internship is typically eight weeks in the summer,
but other times could be arranged. The students will be exposed
to both clinical and academic aspects of nutrition. Each student
will receive a $2,500 stipend for the eight-week
internship.
