Explore the Keith & Associates Distance Dietetic Internship (KADDI): A Flexible and Accredited Pathway to Becoming a Registered Dietitian

The Keith & Associates Distance Dietetic Internship (KADDI) is a supervised post-baccalaureate practice experience designed to help qualified individuals meet the Registered Dietitian Nutritionist (RDN) credential requirements. As a fully accredited program by the Accreditation Council for Education in Nutrition and Dietetics (ACEND) through 2028 and licensed by the Oklahoma Board of Private Vocational Schools, KADDI delivers a rigorous and flexible path tailored to today’s aspiring dietitians.

Customizable Distance Internship Program with Nationwide Reach

KADDI’s fully remote structure allows interns to design a program based on their geographic location and career interests. While the internship adheres to all ACEND standards for dietetic education, its flexible format gives students the opportunity to gain hands-on experience close to home, reducing relocation costs and improving access to personalized professional networks.

Commitment to Student Privacy and Secure Online Learning

KADDI operates under the U.S. Department of Education’s guidance for protecting student privacy in online learning environments. The program only collects data required for program operations and accreditation compliance. Any data used for development, research, or marketing is de-identified. In the event of a data breach, KADDI promptly notifies all affected students. All testing and online participation require secure identification protocols.
