Description:
The individualized Supervised Practice Pathway (ISPP) is available through Purdue’s Department of Nutrition Science. Individuals who have the goal of becoming a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist (RDN) are required to have a minimum of a master’s degree (effective 1/1/2024) and 1000 hours of supervised practice in dietetics to become eligible to take the national RDN credentialing examination. Purdue’s ISPP provides qualified applicants who have earned a graduate degree an opportunity to secure their own experiential sites to achieve 1000 hours of planned supervised practice experiences. The program will assist students in locating preceptors as needed after admittance to the program.
Applications for the ISPP are accepted year-round and all participants in the ISPP are on their own unique schedule. The benefits of the ISPP include earning the required 1000 hours of supervised practice experience, being able to live throughout the state of Indiana, and having the option to complete the ISPP part-time. More specific information is available on the Department of Nutrition Science Website.
