Massachusetts General Hospital Dietetic Alumni

“The MGH Dietetic Internship prepares you to face so many situations.  It is a chance to challenge yourself and grow, and to meet great people.”  ~ Claire Blais, Cornell University

“The internship is all-encompassing, you have an opportunity to learn, teach, supervise, work as a team or independently, and you are constantly challenged.”  ~ Johna Jimenez, San Diego State University

“You get out of this internship what you put into it – it gives you a lot of opportunities – so use this year to your advantage.”  ~ Odessa Gallett, University of Wisconsin – Stout

"The connections you have access to through MGH are priceless."  ~ Emily Gelsomin, Penn State University

"This past year was well worth the hard work. The amount of effort you put in will reflect the benefits you receive in the end. I can safely say I made life-long friendships this year and will never have another year quite like it."  ~ Tara Minaker, University of Rhode Island

“This internship has made me more confident in my capabilities.  It has made me realize that as a dietitian, I will be the nutrition expert.”  ~  Kristen Schwartz, Oregon State University

“This really has been one of the best years of my life, and I feel that I have learned so much about other people and myself.  The preceptors at MGH and all affiliated buildings have been so great!”  ~ Kendra McGahan, University of Northern Colorado

“I feel in the past year I was able to really find out who I really am, I feel that I definitely was able to grow both personally and professionally.  I developed the confidence in my ability and feel as though I can be put in any situation and be able to handle it professionally and correctly.”  ~  Jess Witchey, Pennsylvania State University
