Joining your school's Student Dietetic Association (SDA), or equivalent of a different name, is a great way to help make yourself a more competitive candidate for an internship. Being a member of your school's SDA is a wonderful thing to include on your resume, and offers many benefits in addition to that.
By being an active member you'll have the opportunity to gain volunteer experience in area(s) you may not have otherwise been able to. And this will give you even more experiences to draw from when writing your personal statement(s)/application letter(s).
You'll also have the opportunity to meet a lot of people. You'll be able to meet fellow students, who could become class project partners and study group members in the near future, and friends and colleagues in the long term. And if you actively participate in SDA activities you may have the opportunity to meet people already working in the field of dietetics, who could provide you with valuable insight or maybe even a letter of recommendation.
If your school doesn't have a Student Dietetic Association or similar nutrition related club, founding one yourself is a great opportunity as well! This shows potential internships your ingenuity and dedication. And by founding the SDA yourself you'll be able to give both yourself and your classmates the opportunities described above.
Your school's Student Dietetic Association is a fun way to connect with your peers and find additional volunteer opportunities.
