Dear new Intern,
Welcome to the Dietetic Internship Program of the University of Oklahoma Health Campus! You were carefully chosen because of your potential to become an excellent registered dietitian, contribute to the profession of nutrition and dietetics, and have a positive impact on those you serve.
These next few months will bring challenges, surprises, and growth beyond your imagination. This road you have chosen is not an easy one; however, the best things in life are never easy! You will be exposed to a dynamic learning process designed to expand on and make the most of your didactic learning.
Remember throughout your journey that we, the OUHC faculty and staff and your preceptors, are here for the explicit purpose of helping you to achieve your goals. When we demand your excellence, it is only because we have faith in your abilities.
Again, we welcome you. We are already proud of you and look forward to watching you achieve your excellence!
Sincerely,
Sarah Patel, MS, MA, RDN/LD
Dietetic Internship Program Director
OUHC Department of Nutritional Sciences
