About The Position
The Associate Dietitian is a Registered Dietitian in training with less than one year of clinical experience. Under the direct supervision of a qualified renal dietitian, the role provides nutritional services to in-center and home patients at assigned facilities to gain the clinical experience required by CMS to become a qualified dietitian.

The Associate Dietitian provides nutrition education and counseling, reviews nutrition-related laboratory results, monitors patients’ response and adherence to nutrition therapy, and communicates relevant results and recommendations to patients, caregivers, physicians, facility staff, and the interdisciplinary team. The role collaborates with the team on patient nutrition and related care needs, participates in quality and plan-of-care meetings with a CMS-qualified dietitian, and maintains professional registration and continuing education requirements. The work environment is characteristic of a healthcare facility, with controlled air temperature and moderate noise. The employee may be exposed to infectious or contagious diseases and materials. Work includes desk and personal computer tasks and interaction with patients, facility staff, and physicians. Travel between assigned facilities and community locations may be required, as well as travel to training clinics and regional, Business Unit, or Corporate meetings.
