Medical Dietetics' location in the College of Medicine provides a unique opportunity for students to study in a world renowned comprehensive medical center.  If you are a high school student with an interest in dietetics, please see the American Dietetic Association's RD Pathway at http://www.eatright.org/ada/files/basic_high_school_RDflow.pdf If you are planning a career change and would like to consider dietetics, visit ADA's career change pathway at http://www.eatright.org/ada/files/careerchangerRDflow.pdf International students may find more information at http://www.eatright.org/ada/files/rd_international_050404.pdf Programs at The Ohio State University include a coordinated program at both the  undergraduate and graduate levels. Coordinated programs combine the coursework with the internship so students are eligible to take the national dietetics registration exam upon graduation.  Many students use the undergraduate program as a great background for medical school, physical therapy, occupational therapy, or other graduate programs.  The coordinated graduate program is designed for students who have a major in another area and would like to pursue a dietitian's registered-eligible program at the graduate level.

Medical Dietetics also provides a combined masters internship program for dietetic students who have graduated from a didactic program in dietetics.  This unique program allows students to choose a clinical nutrition track, allied medical education track, or allied medical management track to combine with the internship.  This allows interns to pursue their areas of interest through their masters' program while continuing their dietetics education in an exciting internship. The last program offered by Medical Dietetics is a masters degree in clinical nutrition.  This degree is specifically designed for the practicing dietitian to return to school to further their knowledge.  Students may select from a variety of courses to augment a degree that investigates critical nutrition, community nutrition, metabolic diseases, and clinical management.
