Newsletter! As the fall semester gets underway, we look forward to connecting with you and sharing program news and updates.  First, we would like to extend a special thank you to all of our preceptors across Maine! Your dedication, knowledge and leadership plays a vital role in the success and growth of UMaine\u2019s dietetic interns. We would also like to welcome aboard several new rotation sites, including the New England Cancer Specialists, University of Maine\u2019s Nutrition Education and Eating Decision Lab, and the Peter Alfond Prevention &amp; Healthy Living Center through MaineGeneral Health. We\u2019re ecstatic that our interns have the unique experience of working with each of you.<br><br>We are also happy to announce several changes that our program has recently undergone. UMaine&#8217;s DI has moved all coursework to 100% online, with supervised practice remaining in-person. We\u2019ve also reduced our credit requirements from 34 to 30, while still maintaining the high quality education that you\u2019ve come to expect from UMaine\u2019s DI. Both of these initiatives result in major cost savings for prospective interns.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-style-default\">\n<figure class=\"alignright size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"588\" height=\"1034\" src=\"https:\/\/umaine.edu\/dietetic-internship-ispp\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/482\/2025\/08\/UMDI-Accelerated-Program.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4127\" style=\"width:360px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/umaine.edu\/dietetic-internship-ispp\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/482\/2025\/08\/UMDI-Accelerated-Program.png 588w, https:\/\/umaine.edu\/dietetic-internship-ispp\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/482\/2025\/08\/UMDI-Accelerated-Program-171x300.png 171w, https:\/\/umaine.edu\/dietetic-internship-ispp\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/482\/2025\/08\/UMDI-Accelerated-Program-582x1024.png 582w, https:\/\/umaine.edu\/dietetic-internship-ispp\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/482\/2025\/08\/UMDI-Accelerated-Program-80x140.png 80w, https:\/\/umaine.edu\/dietetic-internship-ispp\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/482\/2025\/08\/UMDI-Accelerated-Program-317x557.png 317w, https:\/\/umaine.edu\/dietetic-internship-ispp\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/482\/2025\/08\/UMDI-Accelerated-Program-423x744.png 423w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 320px) 85vw, (max-width: 768px) 67vw, (max-width: 1024px) 62vw,588px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading3814_085136-3e, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading3814_085136-3e[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading3814_085136-3e\"]{margin-top:0px;font-size:18px;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-family:forma-djr-micro;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading3814_085136-3e mark.kt-highlight, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading3814_085136-3e[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading3814_085136-3e\"] mark.kt-highlight{font-style:normal;color:#f76a0c;-webkit-box-decoration-break:clone;box-decoration-break:clone;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading3814_085136-3e img.kb-inline-image, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading3814_085136-3e[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading3814_085136-3e\"] img.kb-inline-image{width:150px;vertical-align:baseline;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading3814_085136-3e, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading3814_085136-3e[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading3814_085136-3e\"]{text-align:left!important;}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading3814_085136-3e, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading3814_085136-3e[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading3814_085136-3e\"]{text-align:center!important;}}<\/style>\n<p class=\"kt-adv-heading3814_085136-3e wp-block-kadence-advancedheading\" data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading3814_085136-3e\">Another exciting change is the development of an Accelerated Program in Food Science and Human Nutrition. This program supports students who are ambitious in beginning their dietetic graduate coursework early, specifically during their junior and senior year. The Accelerated Program is for undergraduate students who have maintained a strong academic standing, exhibit outstanding nutrition-related work &amp; volunteer experience, and have a clear vision for becoming a registered dietitian nutritionist. <a href=\"https:\/\/umaine.edu\/dietetic-internship-ispp\/\"><em>See our newly renovated website for prospective timelines &amp;&nbsp;more details<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading3814_8c97f1-44, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading3814_8c97f1-44[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading3814_8c97f1-44\"]{margin-top:0px;font-size:18px;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-family:forma-djr-micro;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading3814_8c97f1-44 mark.kt-highlight, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading3814_8c97f1-44[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading3814_8c97f1-44\"] mark.kt-highlight{font-style:normal;color:#f76a0c;-webkit-box-decoration-break:clone;box-decoration-break:clone;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading3814_8c97f1-44 img.kb-inline-image, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading3814_8c97f1-44[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading3814_8c97f1-44\"] img.kb-inline-image{width:150px;vertical-align:baseline;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading3814_8c97f1-44, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading3814_8c97f1-44[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading3814_8c97f1-44\"]{text-align:left!important;}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading3814_8c97f1-44, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading3814_8c97f1-44[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading3814_8c97f1-44\"]{text-align:center!important;}}<\/style>\n<p class=\"kt-adv-heading3814_8c97f1-44 wp-block-kadence-advancedheading\" data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading3814_8c97f1-44\">Earlier this year, we had the pleasure of hosting our virtual annual site coordinator\u2019s meeting &amp; our dietetic internship advisory board meeting.

Undergraduates, graduate students and registered dietitians were invited to connect with potential employers and learn about open nutrition-related positions. We are grateful to be able to collaborate with our outstanding site coordinators and their organizations to help shape and support Maine\u2019s dietetic workforce.

We would also like to congratulate Dr. Mona Therrien-Genest on her recent retirement from her role as UMaine\u2019s Dietetic Internship Director. She\u2019s been pivotal in the success of countless registered dietitians &amp; we couldn\u2019t be more excited to now have her as one of our preceptors! <br><br>Finally, we would like to thank all of our alumni. Your contributions as past interns have helped make our program what it is today. We\u2019re cheering you on in everything you do &amp; remember to keep in touch with us!

Adolescence is a critical period for establishing lifelong dietary habits and living in the most rural state in the nation, adolescents in Maine face unique challenges that make this work especially important.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-style-default\">\n<figure class=\"alignright size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"1333\" src=\"https:\/\/umaine.edu\/dietetic-internship-ispp\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/482\/2025\/08\/dietetic.jpg\" alt=\"Amelia Sullivan\" class=\"wp-image-4014\" style=\"width:360px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/umaine.edu\/dietetic-internship-ispp\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/482\/2025\/08\/dietetic.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/umaine.edu\/dietetic-internship-ispp\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/482\/2025\/08\/dietetic-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/umaine.edu\/dietetic-internship-ispp\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/482\/2025\/08\/dietetic-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/umaine.edu\/dietetic-internship-ispp\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/482\/2025\/08\/dietetic-105x140.jpg 105w, https:\/\/umaine.edu\/dietetic-internship-ispp\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/482\/2025\/08\/dietetic-317x423.jpg 317w, https:\/\/umaine.edu\/dietetic-internship-ispp\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/482\/2025\/08\/dietetic-423x564.jpg 423w, https:\/\/umaine.edu\/dietetic-internship-ispp\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/482\/2025\/08\/dietetic-634x845.jpg 634w, https:\/\/umaine.edu\/dietetic-internship-ispp\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/482\/2025\/08\/dietetic-846x1128.jpg 846w, https:\/\/umaine.edu\/dietetic-internship-ispp\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/482\/2025\/08\/dietetic-951x1268.jpg 951w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 320px) 85vw, (max-width: 768px) 67vw, (max-width: 1024px) 62vw,1000px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading3814_7c8bf0-32, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading3814_7c8bf0-32[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading3814_7c8bf0-32\"]{margin-top:0px;font-size:18px;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-family:forma-djr-micro;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading3814_7c8bf0-32 mark.kt-highlight, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading3814_7c8bf0-32[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading3814_7c8bf0-32\"] mark.kt-highlight{font-style:normal;color:#f76a0c;-webkit-box-decoration-break:clone;box-decoration-break:clone;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading3814_7c8bf0-32 img.kb-inline-image, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading3814_7c8bf0-32[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading3814_7c8bf0-32\"] img.kb-inline-image{width:150px;vertical-align:baseline;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading3814_7c8bf0-32, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading3814_7c8bf0-32[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading3814_7c8bf0-32\"]{text-align:left!important;}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading3814_7c8bf0-32, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading3814_7c8bf0-32[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading3814_7c8bf0-32\"]{text-align:center!important;}}<\/style>\n<p class=\"kt-adv-heading3814_7c8bf0-32 wp-block-kadence-advancedheading\" data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading3814_7c8bf0-32\"><strong>Would you give a brief summary of your research, including some background information, methods and major findings?<\/strong><br>My dissertation, HEALTHY (Helping Early Adolescents Live Their Healthiest Youth), is a mixed-methods, quasi-experimental study conducted in rural Maine middle schools. The intervention involved an eight-week educational smoothie taste test program guided by the Social Cognitive Theory and Behavioral Economics. Data collection included skin carotenoid levels (Veggie Meter) to assess fruit and vegetable intake, lunch tray photographs to analyze food consumption and waste, student surveys, focus groups, and interviews with the school nutrition directors.

Furthermore, skin carotenoid levels are reflective of carotenoid-containing food intake (fruits, vegetables, and milk); therefore, the score does not reflect total fruit intake but rather indicates trends in consumption. Despite these limitations, the research demonstrates that theory-driven, school-based nutrition interventions can be effective and sustainable in rural settings, offering a scalable model for similar communities aiming to improve fruit consumption and reduce waste.<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading3814_05291f-d9, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading3814_05291f-d9[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading3814_05291f-d9\"]{margin-top:0px;font-size:18px;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-family:forma-djr-micro;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading3814_05291f-d9 mark.kt-highlight, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading3814_05291f-d9[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading3814_05291f-d9\"] mark.kt-highlight{font-style:normal;color:#f76a0c;-webkit-box-decoration-break:clone;box-decoration-break:clone;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading3814_05291f-d9 img.kb-inline-image, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading3814_05291f-d9[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading3814_05291f-d9\"] img.kb-inline-image{width:150px;vertical-align:baseline;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading3814_05291f-d9, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading3814_05291f-d9[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading3814_05291f-d9\"]{text-align:left!important;}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading3814_05291f-d9, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading3814_05291f-d9[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading3814_05291f-d9\"]{text-align:center!important;}}<\/style>\n<p class=\"kt-adv-heading3814_05291f-d9 wp-block-kadence-advancedheading\" data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading3814_05291f-d9\"><strong>Based on your findings and a review of the current literature, what advice or recommendations would you give to the general public?<\/strong><br>I recommend that communities and their schools collaborate to increase the availability and appeal of fruits and vegetables in environments where adolescents eat and learn.

href=\"https:\/\/www.eatrightmaine.org\/\">MAND<\/a>) Public Policy Panel. Our Dietetic Interns attend monthly meetings, stay informed on local and national nutrition-related policies, and have the opportunity to network with legislators and registered dietitians nutritionists (RDNs) across the state. As a result, they become strong champions for policies that support the well-being of others, as well as for the profession.&nbsp;<br><br>Junior interns celebrated National RDN Day (March 12, 2025) by participating and helping to organize the MAND Annual Legislative Day. Together, junior interns and Public Policy Panel members connected with legislators at the State House to discuss the benefits of the <a href=\"https:\/\/compacts.csg.org\/compact-updates\/the-interstate-compact-for-dietitians\/\">Dietitian Licensure Compact<\/a>. Leading up to the event, junior dietetic interns and RDNs submitted written testimony in support of the compact, which was used during a public hearing. Although the bill died in committee, our interns gained first-hand experience in supporting legislative initiatives that increase access to care and further our profession. We are looking forward to working with the incoming class of junior interns to reintroduce the legislation later this year.&nbsp; <br><br>Additional Public Policy Panel Initiatives include hosting multiple webinars to inform MAND members about Academy policy initiatives, providing rule suggestions to the dietetic licensure board, and representing MAND at the National Nutrition and Dietetics State Summit. In terms of policies, Public Policy Panel members advocated for the Treat and Reduce Obesity Act, the Medical Nutrition Therapy Act, Farm Bill Expansion, and the protection of funding for the Nutrition Education and Obesity Prevention Grant Program. <br><br>To learn more about the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics key policy initiatives, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eatrightpro.org\/advocacy\/federal-policy-initiatives\">visit here<\/a>.
