Class Days

Class days are held on most Mondays throughout the internship, and are a great opportunity for the intern classmates to get to know each other better, work on projects, and both receive and provide support.*

The BIDMC-based class days involve presentations by a variety of specialists from the hospital, including RD specialists, medical interpreters, social workers, and nurse specialists. Dietetic interns also do much of the teaching during these class days, with plenty of opportunities to practice public speaking skills.

Some Mondays are designated "joint class days" where all of the Boston-based dietetic interns gather for a larger theme-based class day. Topics include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Weight & Health
• Nutrition & Aging
• Career Day
• Pediatric Nutrition
• Nutrition Support
• Sustainability
• Private Practice
• Sports Nutrition & Eating Disorders

*Classes offered are non-credit classes.
