Outpatient Registered Dietitian-Nutritionist

RDN (experienced) or RDN eligible part-time (1-3 days/week) outpatient position is available on South Hill in Puyallup, Washington. This independent position involves assisting in the nutrition education, guidance, support, coaching and accountability of a wide variety of physician referred patients. The type of patients being see are those struggling with one or more health conditions such as HTN, DM, Celiac Sprue, Crohn's disease, Tummy Troubles (IBS/SIBO), Lipid Management and obesity/weight management (not limited to).

A prosperous caseload is dependent on the clinical and relational/listening skills of the RDN being capable to engage every patient for multiple face-to face (60 minute) Medical Nutrition Therapy (MNT) sessions for optimal clinical outcomes. Multiple visits result in improved clinical outcomes. The improved clinical outcomes benefit the health of the patient. The improved health of the patient benefits the reputation of our profession in the community and to the referring providers.

In order to facilitate a consistent plan-of-care, all in-person appointments afford the opportunity for remote MNT during transportation issues, inclement weather, illness of the patient or illness of a family member of the patient.

This position offers the rewarding experience of getting to know patients while slowly navigating their health challenges and sustainability struggles by providing strategic resolutions that only an RDN professional would know.
