At the award-winning Medical University of South Carolina and local Charleston area, we are "Changing What's Possible".

We are a site under Morrison Healthcare Dietetic Internship and offer amazing rotation opportunities.

Program Overview

This is an on-site program for eligible students who completed required coursework from an accredited DPD program, accepting 12 interns per year at MUSC Charleston. We also have other MUSC locations in Columbia, Florence and Lancaster. Our students complete a 1000-hour, full-time supervised practicum (approximately 8-9 months). Applicants can partner with various of our partner universities for a dual internship/master's degree. Students from partner universities are given priority in locations.

At MUSC, interns work in many settings, often paired together. Rotations are 4 days per week, allowing the 5th day to complete master's coursework and/or internship assignments to meet ACEND competencies. We offer strong clinical and food service management rotations. MUSC is an ever-growing hospital system with our Charleston site including over 850 beds and 8 ICUs. Interns are afforded the opportunity to practice under highly skilled RDN preceptors in medical nutrition therapy in practically every disease state. This site can also provide outpatient and community opportunities such as weight management, sports nutrition, eating disorders, pediatrics, wellness, school nutrition, long term care, and dialysis, just to name a few. Our interns attend local dietetic association meetings, conduct a research project, and work as part of an interprofessional team with other students and healthcare providers.
