University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston
Dietetic Internship Program
COMPUTER MATCHING
All program applicants must participate in computer matching for program placement. Instructions and a mark/sense card to prioritize their Supervised Practice preferences may be requested from the ADA-Didactic Program from which the student graduated or from D & D Digital Systems. This request should be made in time to allow for turn around time for submitting by a February 14th postmark deadline. There is no charge for this material. However, there is a $50.00 charge for computer matching that is due with the applicant’s prioritized ranking. The Code Number for the Dietetic Internship at The University of Texas School of Public Health at Houston is 262. Address requests for instruction booklet to:
D & D Digital Systems
304 Main St., Suite 301
Ames, Iowa 50010-6148
Phone 515-292-0490
Fax: 515-663-0427
email: dnd@netins.net
D & D will notify each applicant to which, if any, dietetic internship program he/she has been matched and will provide each Dietetic Internship Director with a list of applicants matched to his/her program. D&D will also provide Dietetic Internship Program Directors and ADA Department of Education with a list of applicants not matched to a dietetic internship. The Dietetic Internship Program will prioritize only program applicants admitted to The School of Public Health. If an applicant is not matched for the Dietetic Internship, but is admitted to the School of Public Health, the applicant may attend the School of Public Health and may apply to fill any vacancies after the matching process has occurred or apply for the Dietetic Internship Program at the School of Public Health the following year.
