The Children’s Hospital of Richmond (CHoR) at VCU is expanding its nephrology program to support more children with renal disease and transplantation. Registered Dietitians (RD/RDN) play a significant role in the care and management of these patients. This is a golden opportunity to join a well established interdisciplinary team who values nutrition. The RD/RDN would work collaboratively with another dietitian to manage these patients on an inpatient and outpatient basis. Disease states encountered may include those with CKD, ESRD (dialysis), glomerulonephritis, hypertension, nephrotic syndrome, pre/post-natal renal abnormalities, and renal dysplasia. Based on CMS regulations the dietitian must have one year of experience as a Registered Dietitian. Excellent communication skills are essential for teaching patients/families, dietetic interns, and a variety of health care providers. We offer a Clinical Ladder to allow growth opportunities in leadership, professional development, and research. CHoR at VCU has competitive benefits such as paid time off, insurance, and retirement that are initiated at hire day. Come join a team that impacts the lives of children.
