Credentialing Process

THE CREDENTIALING PROCESS

The successful completion of a dietetic internship is an important step to becoming a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist (RDN). After completing the Central Valley WIC Dietetic Internship, the intern graduate will be qualified to take the Registration Exam to become a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist (RDN). Once the intern graduate passes the Registration Exam, he or she is qualified to work as a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist in a variety of settings, including Community Nutrition, Clinical Nutrition and Food Service Management.
