Transportation

Although most rotations are located at the UC Davis Medical Center and walking distance from several neighborhoods, dietetic interns are required to have reliable transportation to get to off-site rotations and field trips. Interns who use a personal vehicle for a scheduled learning experience are required to provide evidence of liability insurance which meets UC standards. Minimum required insurance coverage is:

  • $50,000 for personal injury or death of one person;
  • $100,000 for injury to, or death of, two or more persons in one accident; and
  • $50,000 for property damage
