Dietetic Intern

Monte Nido & Affiliates has been providing proven treatment for eating disorders for over two decades. Our programs offer treatment that blends the personalized and medically sophisticated care for which we are known, with the latest research and strategies for those overcoming eating disorders. Our treatment setting is intimate with a high staff-to-client ratio, and an emphasis on individual therapy and highly individualized treatment.

We are seeking a Dietetic Intern to work at the Inpatient program located in Dedham, MA.

Our goal in accepting interns is to foster an interest in, and knowledge of, eating disorders in the field of dietetics. We aim to provide each intern with insight and experience on the crucial role registered dietitians (RDs) can play on the multidisciplinary eating disorder treatment team. While aiding the intern in gaining experience in eating disorder treatment, our organization benefits from their creativity and energy while providing our RD staff the opportunity to mentor new members of the dietetics field.
