We need to document to the Commission on Accreditation for Dietetics Education
(CADE) that the intern has completed the required number of hours and
rotations during the internship. There are master copies of the evaluation
forms used in the intern's manual as well.
As the preceptor, we require that you see, review, and sign off on all
the documentation pertaining to the intern practicum experiences.
The documentation provides a natural “trigger” for discussion
at regular intervals regarding intern progress. Your ongoing evaluations
will allow the intern feedback so that there are no surprises regarding
actual capabilities, academic and professional expectations, evaluations,
and the results of the evaluations.
