Students of the Dietetics, Foods, and Nutrition program offered by the CUNY Lehman College fulfilling all requirements for successful completion of the ACEND-accredited DPD are eligible for a Verification Statement and can apply for supervised practice in an ACEND-accredited dietetic internship (DI), which enables the student to take the CDR examination to become a registered dietitian nutritionist (RDN). 

The DPD Verification Statement also provides the opportunity to take the examination to become a Nutrition and Dietetic Technician, Registered (NDTR). DPD students must comply with the Code of Ethics for the Profession of Dietetics adopted by the Academy for Nutrition and Dietetics in order to progress in the program.
