Dietetic internship programs commonly use academic records, essays, and recommendations for selection. However, the reliability and legality of some criteria require careful review to ensure fairness and predict success.

Area of Science:

Dietetics
Health Professions Education

Background:

Recent legal and regulatory changes necessitate a review of dietetic internship selection processes.
The dietetic traineeship phase-out and American Dietetic Association (ADA) policy shifts impact admissions.

Purpose of the Study:

To profile the selection criteria and processes used by accredited dietetic internship programs in 1978.
To assess the commonality of these criteria with other academic and allied health professions.

Main Methods:

Survey of 47 out of 68 accredited dietetic internship programs.
Analysis of reported selection criteria and processes.

Main Results:

Most common criteria: academic records, letters of recommendation, applicant essays, and demographic data.

Related Experiment Videos

Standardized tests and interviews were infrequently used.

Reliability and validity of criteria like letters of recommendation were questioned.

Conclusions:

Dietetic internship selection criteria align with those in other health professions.
Recommendations include improving the predictive quality of selection tools and reviewing legally questionable criteria.
Internship directors should ensure objective and sensitive selection processes.
