Hello! I am a dietetics senior, and am contemplating whether to do my dietetic internship before or after med school. An internship is usually under a year, and allows me to sit for an exam to earn the credentials R.D. I decided to post this in the DO thread, because I feel I relate more to osteopathic students/physicians. I want to go into family medicine, so benifits would include advertisement for my practice, future patients may Google me to find a physician who can offer a unique perspective, and I can expand my nutritional knowledge that I may not obtain in medical school. Side note, I have had more than one exam in my program that have asked, "should a physician give nutritional advice?" The answer has always been, "no." Of course that's a summed up version of what is asked, but you get the idea. If that is the attitude enforced with nutrition students, I want to be looked at as an expert in my field. Thanks so much!
