Extractions: Dietetic Internship Program Dietetics Program Brochure PDF MS Word Dietetic Internship Program is a post-baccalaureate certificate program that is designed to provide interns with a wide range of learning experiences upon which to base their careers. Interns work individually with food service managers and clinical dietitians, gaining the skills necessary to function competently and confidently as entry level dietitians in clinical, management or community settings. Dietitians work in a variety of settings including hospitals and other healthcare facilities, sports nutrition and wellness centers, food and nutrition-related businesses and industries, private practice, community and public health settings, universities and medical centers, and research areas in food and pharmaceutical companies. A registered dietitian (RD) is a food and nutrition expert with a minimum of a baccalaureate degree who has met the academic and professional requirements for the credential. Many RDs hold additional certification in specialty areas of practice such as pediatric and renal nutrition (CSP and CSR, respectively), nutrition support (CNSD), and diabetes education (CDE). The American Dietetic Association (ADA) also recognizes advanced achievement with the Fellow of the American Dietetic Association (FADA). In addition many states also have licensure and certification requirements for RDs (LD or LDN). The state of Missouri recently passed a licensure law for RDs. Interns are encouraged to exercise independent decision-making and problem solving skills. Experiences are planned to meet individual needs and to fulfill ADA competency standards. Interns build on current knowledge, acquire new knowledge and identify resources for continued learning and professional growth. Upon completion of the program, interns are eligible to sit for the registration exam given by the ADA.

Extractions: Office of Public Information More than 130,000 Missouri women, infants and children benefit each month from a federal program that teaches healthy food choices and provides nutritious food items such as milk, juice and cereal. The program aims to improve the nutritional health of pregnant women, new mothers, infants and children up to 5 years of age. The Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants and Children (WIC), administered by the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services, offers nutrition counseling and financial assistance (checks) to purchase specific nutritious foods to eligible women and their children. WIC also provides health screening and risk assessment, breastfeeding promotion and support, and referrals to health care providers and social services agencies. The WIC program works to improve the nutrition of children across Missouri," said Phyllis Fuller, a registered dietitian with the state's WIC program. By encouraging and enabling pregnant and new mothers and young children to eat nutritious foods, we are helping thousands of children get a healthier start in life. WIC provides foods that offer essential nutrients often missing from the diets of participants. Those nutrients include vitamins A, C and D; iron; calcium; and protein. In addition to milk, juice and cereal, WIC participants can receive cheese, eggs, dried beans and peas, and peanut butter.

Extractions: Breastfeeding is one of the most important contributors to infant health. Extensive research documents diverse advantages to infants, mothers, families, and society as a whole from breastfeeding (American Academy of Pediatrics, "Breastfeeding and the Use of Human Milk" (RE9729), Pediatrics, Vol. 100, No.6, December 1997, pp.1035-1039). Even with the growing knowledge of the benefits of breastfeeding, rates remain low. In Missouri, 65% of mothers initiated breastfeeding with only 26.7% continuing at 6 months ("Mother's Survey", Ross Products Division, Abbott Laboratories, 2000). This is well below the Healthy People 2010 goals of 75% and 50%, respectively. Further, there are significant disparities in rates of breastfeeding among various ethnic and racial groups. Steps to increase breastfeeding can only be achieved by supporting breastfeeding at all levels of social interaction, including the family, the community, the work place and the health care sector. Additionally, all health care providers who interact with women or infants should be knowledgeable about the basics of lactation. (U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. HHS Blueprint for Action on Breastfeeding, Washington, D.C., U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Office on Women's Health, 2000). However, many health care providers lack the knowledge to effectively assist breastfeeding women and infants.
