Distance Track

All program options RSC offers are also offered to distance interns.

All requirements remain the same as the onsite options, however, distance applicants must locate and secure their own supervised practice placements sites. 

Practicum placements for all rotations are the sole responsibility of the intern.

Those applying to the Dietetic Internship Graduate Certificate program (full- or part-time) option are required to have all supervised practice sites secured upon application to the program. 

Those applying to the MS-DI Traditional (full- or part-time) are not required to have all supervised practice sites secured upon application, however, all sites must be secured one semester prior to the start of their supervised practice. 

The Distance Track Preceptor Application and Dietetic Internship Affiliation Agreement(s) must be submitted and fully executed for each site prior to the start of internship. These forms are sent to the interns upon acceptance to the program and available on our website. Please do not have these completed and mailed to us. Should you be accepted into the program the DI Director will advise you when these must be completed. 

After acceptance into the Russell Sage College Remote Dietetic Internship program and prior to the start of the internship, all preceptors must complete Russell Sage College Dietetic Internship Preceptor Application Form and submit two signed copies of the Russell Sage College Dietetic Internship Agreement below.

Note that there are 3 different contracts: “Clinical”, “Non-Clinical” and “Inclusive”. Please read the definitions to identify the appropriate contract, and whether the facility is a “For Profit” or “Not-For-Profit/Government Agency”.
