• A. Dietetic Internship
• B. Dietary Managers Association coursework
• C. ISPPs
• D. School Nutrition Specialist

Answer: (A)

Completing an ACEND-accredited supervised practice program that combines coursework with clinical experience is what makes someone eligible to sit the registered dietitian (RD) exam. A Dietetic Internship provides exactly that hands-on clinical training and practice hours, preparing graduates to apply for and take the RD exam. Other options relate to different credentials or specialties that do not confer eligibility to take the RD exam, such as coursework for dietary managers, a school nutrition specialty credential, or other non-RD pathways.
