The dietetics field can be challenging, especially for students of color. As of 2022, over 70% of dietitians are white, and the numerous barriers in our healthcare system disproportionately affect patients of color. It's crucial to provide high-quality care for our communities and support future dietitians of color in their journeys. As part of this commitment, I'm excited to offer a mentorship program!
Starting in September, I will accept one student or intern per year. You are eligible to apply if you are a sophomore, junior, senior, graduate student, or dietetic intern at an accredited university or internship program who is planning to become a Registered Dietitian. You will be a good fit if you are open to feedback and eager to learn! Applications open in August, with notifications sent in mid-late September. Our mentorship will run through May of the following year.
