MessagefromthePresidentDieteticInternship The MGH Dietetic Internship is a post graduate, supervised practice experience program of Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) and a member of Partner’s HealthCare System. Dietetic Interns are considered employees of the hospital and are expected to comply with all Massachusetts General Hospital and Partners Healthcare System policies and procedures. If you need additional information or have any questions, please refer to MGH MGPO Hospital Wide Policies. http://hr.partners.org/mgh/hr-policies.aspx The Dietetic Internship utilizes resources and services from Partners and MGH to support the experiences in the work environment. We utilize the resources and services of the MGH Police, Security and Outside Services to promote a safe learning and work environment for students and employees. Through this partnership the Dietetic Internship develops and disseminates information and reports on safety, sensitive crimes and drug free campus and workplace resources.

Through this process, the Dietetic Internship complies with the Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act and the Drug-Free Schools and Communities Act.

The information referred to in this section of the Dietetic Internship Handbook has been developed in partnership with MGH Police, Security. It covers information on the main hospital campus.

We are all committed to providing a safe learning and work environment and information on available resources for students and employees should the need arise.
