Part-Time Option
The Stony Brook Dietetic Internship offers a part-time option. Since 2007 the Internship can be completed part-time, within a two-year time frame. This option is available on a limited basis, with a maximum of two part-time interns at a time. The application process for part-time candidates follows the same guidelines as the full-time applicants.
During this time period, part-time interns need to be engaged in Dietetic Internship activities for a minimum of 16 hours per week, except during approved vacations (less than 6 weeks a year). Part-time dietetic interns would be required to meet all requirements, competencies, and learning outcomes as detailed in the curriculum for full-time interns.
Please refer to Table I for detailed information regarding the time frame for completion of requirements by part-time interns. Part-time interns will be required to complete orientation, seminar, and one required nutrition class in year one.

Part-time interns will be required to pay the Dietetic Internship fee in full by early July of the first academic year. Part-time dietetic interns will pay University fees during the second year. Each academic year for which interns are scheduled for rotations, they will be required to pay professional liability insurance and student health insurance (if they cannot show proof of personal health insurance). Fees and scheduling are subject to change. Part-time interns must re-register for the Internship during the second year; additional registration fees may be charged.
