Dietitian, Developing Practice
About The Position
Sensibly Sprouted is seeking a Dietitian, Developing Practice to build the clinical, operational, and professional capability required to independently perform at the Primary Practice level. Developing Practice is a temporary developmental patient-facing MNT role for Dietitians who have the foundational capability required to begin delivering Medical Nutrition Therapy but still require additional development before independently performing the complete Primary Practice role. The Developing Practice Dietitian delivers Medical Nutrition Therapy within defined scope while developing clinical reasoning, patient-management capability, counseling effectiveness, operational proficiency, and consistency through structured training, coaching, feedback, and performance enablement. This role may be appropriate for Dietitians early in their MNT careers, entering from internship or academic training, or transitioning from other areas of Dietetics where additional outpatient or longitudinal MNT development is needed. Developing Practice Dietitians progressively expand their clinical capability, treatment breadth, independence, and operational effectiveness while learning and applying the Sensibly Sprouted Approach.
