Overview

At the Clinical Nutrition degree from University of Memphis you are expected to complete all requirements in the 16-month period. The program begins in mid-Aug. of the first year, and continues with classes and/or supervised practice through the end of the fall semester of the second year. The program is a minimum of 42 credit hours. The didactic curriculum focuses on preparing you for clinical rotations. You will take 9-12 hours of coursework each of the first two semesters (fall and spring), and may have an optional 20-hour-per-week paid nutrition experience, in a clinical research, healthcare or management site.

Key Facts

The supervised practice (internship/rotations) aspect of the program focuses primarily on adult clinical nutrition, however we also have specialty elective focus tracks in pediatrics, community, sports or clinical nutrition occurring at a variety of healthcare sites throughout the Memphis area. An applied project is required for program completion. Applied project work begins during the first fall semester. However, some sites will also require that you conduct research as a component of your involvement at that site.

Rotations start in late May/early June after completing the initial fall and spring semesters and take place over the summer and second fall semester. During this time, you are in rotations 40 hours per week and meet for classes approximately four hours per week. After completion of the 28 weeks of rotations, you will have accumulated approximately 1200 hours of supervised practice. You will have been prepared at entry level and will receive a Verification Statement. You are then eligible to sit for the credentialing exam to become a registered dietitian/nutritionist (RDN).You will defend your applied project during the second fall semester.

The State of Tennessee requires that RDNs be licensed, as do most other states. While state interpretations of statutes may vary, it is ACEND's considered opinion that the program meets the educational requirements for dietetics licensure and certification in all states. However, completing an ACEND-accredited academic program alone does not qualify an individual for licensure or certification as a dietitian in any state. Individuals should review their state's licensing statutes and regulations to understand the specific requirements, including supervised practice and examinations, needed to obtain a dietetics license. More information about state licensure and certification can be found HERE.
