A dietetic intern may request a reconsideration of an evaluation made by an affiliating institution’s dietitian. The following procedure will be followed:
- The dietetic intern will notify the Dietetic Internship Director of his/her dissatisfaction with an evaluation within one week after the evaluation is discussed.
- The Internship Director will discuss the evaluation with the intern and the intern can decide if he/she would like to schedule a meeting with the supervising dietitian and Internship Director to discuss the evaluation.
- If after the meeting the dietetic intern feels that a satisfactory settlement is not reached, he/she may write a rebuttal statement to attach to the evaluation. The affiliating dietitian may also add comments. Both parties may review each other’s comments. A summary statement of the conference discussion will be written by the Director of the Dietetic Internship and signed by all parties.
- In the event that no agreement is reached, the evaluation will stand as the affiliating institution’s dietitian has written it; however, all copies of rebuttals and dietitian’s comments will remain attached to the evaluation sheet.
