(A one or two line response is too brief!) Remember that several of the Admissions Committee members do not know you. This is your chance to introduce yourself to them. What would you like the CP Admissions Committee to know about you? Discuss your personality and interests, as well as each of the following bullet points.Self-directionInterpersonal skillsLeadership abilityOverall preparation for supervised practiceHow you work under pressure and your coping mechanismsWhat are the strengths that you will bring to the CP? In what areas do you hope to improve upon?The supervised practice portion of the CP will require a large commitment of time (40 hours per week, generally Monday through Friday 8-5, although hours will vary depending on the rotation and preceptor’s work schedule), energy (homework assignments in addition to a 40-hour work week), and financial resources over a 10-month period.How will you address the time, energy, and financial responsibilities?What prior commitments (including UC athletics and/or paid employment), transportation issues, or other issues might affect your ability to fully commit to the supervised practice?Before responding to this question, please carefully review the materials CPD Essential Program-Related Functions and Core Knowledge and Competencies for the RD that follow the signature page in this application.The CP has designated pediatrics and long-term care as its 2 areas of concentration. Interns must choose one of these 7-week rotations to complete during supervised practice. Indicate which area you prefer and the reason(s) why. If your preferred choice is not available, how do you feel about completing the alternative concentration?Why did you choose nutrition and dietetics as a career, and describe your reasons for applying for the Coordinated Program?What are your professional goals after completing the requirements to become a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist?Please Note: It is suggested that you have someone review your application prior to submission as punctuation, grammar, and ability to convey your thoughts in writing are discussed by the Admissions Committee members.Applicants to the CP shall be notified of the Admissions Committee decision by mid-February, barring unforeseen circumstances. Applicants to the SPD shall be notified of conditional acceptance no later than mid-December, barring unforeseen circumstances. Conditional acceptance will revert to full program acceptance contingent upon the student’s successful completion of the Nutrition Care Planning and Medical Nutrition Therapy I and II courses, and maintenance of an overall GPA of 3.0.My application includes this signed and dated document, three recommendations from my references, official transcripts from all colleges/universities attended (including from the University of Cincinnati), my undergraduate curriculum sheet, AND a CPD curriculum sheet that indicates the courses I plan to take in the next 15 months, OR for those applying to the SPD, your curriculum sheet indicating the courses you plan to take in the following semester, and the anticipated date of receipt of that verification statement OR a signed DPD verification statement for those applicants who have already graduated from UC’s dietetics program.I understand that, if I am accepted into the Coordinated Program in Dietetics or the Certificate of Supervised Practice in Dietetics:I must earn no less than a B- in the following NUTR courses: Nutrition Care Planning, and Medical Nutrition Therapy I and II. Failure to do so will result in dismissal from the CP (and I will seek academic advising for transfer into the Dietetics or Food & Nutrition undergraduate program) or withdrawal of the conditional offer to complete the SPD;I must maintain a minimum GPA of 3.0 for all subsequent semesters of study. If I do not maintain a 3.0 following the completion of the semester, I will be placed on program probation during the next semester. Upon calculating my combined GPA for the semester during which I did not earn a minimum 3.0 and the subsequent semester, I understand that I will be dismissed from the program if the combined GPA does not meet the minimum of a 3.0 average. Should the GPA fall below 3.0 in my last semester of didactic work, I understand that I will be dismissed from the program and I will seek academic advising for transfer into the Dietetics or Food & Nutrition undergraduate program;I will be required to submit a federal and state background check prior to beginning supervised practice and, if offenses are found that prohibit me from entering supervised practice sites, I will be dismissed from the program. (A list of these offenses can be found on the Ohio Board of Dietetics website, although each individual rotation site has the right to include other offenses that will deny entry to an intern and may prevent the intern from completing supervised practice); I will be required to complete the physical form in its entirety, including proof of recent vaccinations and TB testing, and will be required to be vaccinated against influenza at the appropriate time of the year;I may be required to undergo a drug screen prior to entering a rotation site should the site request one; andI will be required to produce proof of vehicle insurance prior to beginning supervised practice and again during the year when that insurance is renewed.Further I understand that the CPD requires completion of a minimum number of hours of supervised practice. I also understand that this is an accredited competency-based program and, even if I have completed the hours, if I have not shown that I have successfully met the competencies, I will not be permitted to graduate from the program until remediation is completed (as per program policy). Only after I have demonstrated competence in every rotation will I have earned the right to graduate and be issued a CPD verification statement. ______________________________________________________________________________SignatureDate______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________Coordinated Program in Dietetics Essential Program-Related Functions______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________This document is modified with permission from PT Policy 022: Physical Therapy Essential Program-Related Functions, pg 35, in the 2012-2013 Student Handbook for the Doctor of Physical Therapy Program in the College of Allied Health Sciences at the University of Cincinnati.Coordinated Program in Dietetics (CP) students and interns must demonstrate the ability to safely, reliably, and efficiently perform at least the functions listed below, in compliance with legal and ethical standards during their didactic education and supervised practice.Perform duties within the Scope of Dietetics Practice while observing the Code of Ethics for the Profession of Dietetics.Successfully complete the Competencies (CRDN’s) for the Coordinated Program.
