Food Systems Administration

Dietetic Internship: Food Systems Administration Curriculum

Food Systems rotations may occur within the Culinary Services Department at the UW Hospital and Clinics or with community partners, for example, Agrace Hospice Care.

Food Systems Administration rotations are naturally experienced in stages to give interns the opportunity to build on their skills and knowledge throughout the nine-week rotation.

Experiences include exposure to purchasing, quantity foods, safety and sanitation, retail management, marketing, financial responsibility, and client and patient services. Learning experiences include creating a business marketing plan, participating in management activities (including human resources), menu development, managing trends in sustainability, use of local or organic foods and waste management.
