Graduate Education
The internship year at Mass General is an opportunity to explore and to discover a passion in the nutrition profession. Interns are often surprised at what experiences peak their interest and lead to fulfilling careers.

The Mass General Department of Nutrition & Food Services encourages advanced degrees for staff and sees this new opportunity for interns as a step toward a successful career. The department believes that entry level dietitians will benefit from advanced level education.
