Internship rotations can be surprising
Just because an internship is typically made up of community, foodservice and medical nutrition therapy doesn't necessarily mean you'll simply be doing three rotations at three sites. Be prepared to have rotations be split up, to be sent on "field trips" to see other interns' sites, and for lots of other things that may be thrown at you. Perhaps my most surprising rotation is the one I'll be doing next week: interning at a camp for kids with type one diabetes. It's a part of my community rotation that I couldn't have even imagined a year ago. So be aware that your internship may have many twists and turns throughout the course of it.
