We’re often asked dietitians and dietetic interns how they can give back and help a dietetics student, but they aren’t sure how. Here are four ways to give back!

1. Be a Preceptor

Distance dietetic internships are growing in popularity, but there’s a shortage of available preceptors for students. Give back by being a preceptor and be eligible for CEUs for doing so! If you’re interested in adding your name to our preceptor contact list, a resource shared with our Get Matched Coaching clients, please email jenny@allaccessdietetics.com.

2. Do An Instagram Takeover

RD2BEs love career inspiration! Share your journey on our Instagram page and the day in the life of an R.D. Would you please email jenny@allaccessdietetics.com to apply?

3. Hire a Student For a Paid Internship or Contract Position

No one knows dietetics better than dietetics students, dietetic interns, and RDs! Hire a student to join your team for an internship or contract position, such as social media management or admin assistance with your private practice. Dietetics students often have additional skillsets or may even be transitioning from a previous corporate career. If you currently have a paid opening, we’ve partnered with Dietitian Recruiting to help you find your perfect fit.

4. Connect with Online DPD Schools

Dietetics students completing an online program often need to independently seek out their own experiences and preceptors to meet program requirements. Reach out to online DPD schools, like the University of Alabama or Kansas State University, to see how you can help them virtually.

P.S. Please schedule a 15-minute call with me if you would like to brainstorm other ways to help students!
