Dialysis Registered Dietitian

DaVita Kidney Care • Boothbay, ME

134d

About The Position

DaVita is looking for a Registered Dietitian (RD) to help educate our patients and their families in our Dover Community Dialysis in Dover, OH. The patient census at Dover is about 67 patients- 57 patients dialyze in center and 10 dialyze at home. The majority of patients (35) dialyze on MWF- so a typical week would probably be 2 days a week on a Monday, Wed or Friday, and 1 day a week on a Tuesday or Thursday- but this can vary depending on needs of the clinic and the RD. A typical day for a dietitian would involve reviewing monthly lab work with patients and educating them on dietary and medication changes to improve their outcomes. The dietitian also completes nutrition assessments for patients and may also attend patient rounds with their nephrologist. Use your natural gift of education and persuasion to help patients understand that what they eat directly affects their lab levels. As a vital member of each patient's core care team, you will analyze lab-work results and educate patients-and their families-on what to eat accordingly. If you love patient-centered health care with real relationships inside a company that encourages fun on and off the clock, then DaVita is the place for you.
