Clinical Dietitian

As our Clinical Dietitian, you will assess the nutritional status of our patients using recognized assessment tools and recommend and counsel patients, family, and caregivers on the appropriate nutrition plan to improve the patient's health and well-being.

Every day, you will work with the general patient population and patients in more complex levels of care under the supervision of a Clinical Dietitian Intermediate or Clinical Dietitian Lead to perform nutritional assessments using age and gender-appropriate standards and cultural, religious, and ethnic backgrounds. You will conduct routine screenings to identify patients at nutritional risk and collaborate within an interdisciplinary environment to contribute to facilitating care for those needing a higher level of care, all while demonstrating excellent customer service to patients, families, and caregivers.
