The program’s MNT emphasis will provide interns with additional experience in their specialty before entering their professions. The MNT rotation sites can be a long-term care, an inpatient or outpatient setting, which could also be the site of a community rotation depending on the facility. Interns have 11-months to complete the ISPP rotations even though some may be able to complete them sooner. Interns will be issued a VS-ISPP, upon completion of all program requirement and submission of the portfolio, by the DPD Director, the necessary paperwork will be submitted to CDR by the DPD Director, which will allow the graduate to take the registration exam to become a RDN.
