About the Internship
Position Title: Susan Levin Nutrition Intern
About the Nutrition Team: Over the past four decades, the Physicians Committee's nutrition department has achieved many important successes. We have contributed to promotion of plant-based foods in state and federal nutrition guidelines, carried out clinical research studies that have revolutionized the treatment of diabetes, and provided the scientific foundation for the health benefits of plant-based diets. We aim to propel continued progress through direct patient care, nutrition education, and advocacy.
About the Internship: The Susan Levin Nutrition Internship honors the late Susan Levin, MS, RD, CSSD, who served as the Physicians Committee's Director of Nutrition Education for 17 years. Susan Levin fought long and hard for better health and nutrition, not only for the patients under her care and for the participants in the programs she led, but for society as a whole. Participating in this internship is a valuable opportunity to work with an organization at the forefront of the movement to change the way doctors, dietitians, and other health professionals treat chronic diseases such as diabetes, heart disease, obesity, and cancer.

•Supporting educational programs such as the Food for Life, the National Diabetes Program, and Let's Beat Breast Cancer programs
