UCSF Health offers a 10-month clinically focused dietetic internship in a dynamic teaching medical center environment. The internship includes experiences under the supervision of registered dietitians in clinical nutrition, management, and nutrition counseling and education. Over 800 Registered Dietitians have completed our dietetic internship program since it began in 1934. Our graduates are employed as clinical and outpatient dietitians, managers in clinical nutrition and food service, and in non-traditional jobs.
We will accept 5 dietetic interns for the 2026 - 2027 year. The internship will occur from 8/3/2026 to 6/4/2027.
Starting with the 2026 - 2027, there will be a pediatric focused track available for two interns. More information about this will be available by our first open house on 10/16/25.
