Keith & Associates Distance Dietetic Internship (KADDI) is a post-baccalaureate supervised practice experience designed to allow qualified individuals to become registry-eligible with the Commission on Dietetic Registration.
KADDI is a dietetic internship fully accredited by ACEND (Accreditation Council for Education in Nutrition & Dietetics) of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics until 2028 and licensed by The Oklahoma Board of Private Vocational Schools.
A distance internship allows interns to custom-design their own program in their current demographic location. Our internship program follows the same requirements as other dietetic internship programs. KADDI has an excellent curriculum and processes in place for our interns & preceptors.
Keith & Associates follows U.S. Department of Education Guidance Issued on Protecting Student Privacy while Using Online Educational Services. KADDI collects and maintains only the data necessary to fulfill its duties in executing affiliation agreements and meeting ACEND standards. The program will de-identify any data used for product development, research, marketing, or other purposes. In the event of a security or privacy incident including personally identifiable information, KADDI will immediately notify the student or graduate. The program takes precautions to ensure intern privacy and positively identifies interns during distance learning and testing.

KADDI requires interns to be proficient in computer use, as all assignments and program activities rely on a secure online portal. Interns will log daily hours, complete and upload assignments, receive evaluations, and perform surveys and self-assessments through the system. KADDI creates an account for each intern using demographic data.
