I sincerely hope that I am accepted as an intern at Duke University Hospital Dietetic Internship Program. Duke University Hospital has built up a reputation over the years in the field of didactic and clinical services; and I am looking forward to the challenge and experience this institute offers to all its interns (Dieteticinternship.duhs.duke.edu, n.d.-a). This, in turn, will surely help me to be a successful dietitian.
Dietetics is my subject of study, and I plan to become a dietitian in the future. I plan to build upon my educational background and gain practical knowledge on this subject, which will ensure my professional success in the future. Duke University Hospital has the infrastructure, appropriate resources, and qualified faculty to guide interns towards the knowledge and experience needed to handle real-life patients (Dieteticinternship.duhs.duke.edu, n.d.-a). Thus, I will be able to do a nutritional assessment and understand the nutritional status of individuals better due to the varied exposure at the Duke Hospital and will learn to do better nutritional counseling by following actual case studies.
Duke University Hospital (DUH) operates through its various branches and caters to both inpatients and outpatients. It is often acclaimed by the media, like U.S. News & World Report, etc. DUH has been also awarded for its superior service towards the sick and disabled. Their website claims that DUH invests in continuous research in finding ways to care better for their patients (Dieteticinternship.duhs.duke.edu, n.d.-a). Various online reviews by ex and existing patients reveal that their service is excellent and trustworthy. According to the DUH’s Department of Nutrition Services, their aim is to promote good health by making it easier for the patients to adapt to a healthier nourishing program (Dieteticinternship.duhs.duke.edu, n.d.-b). Therefore, an internship at such an organization will not only provide me with the requisite knowledge and exposure but also, the prestige that comes with being associated to DUH.
