Clinical Care Specialist - Registered Dietician

What it is

For you, caring for people with chronic conditions like diabetes and obesity isn’t a job—it’s a calling. You live and breathe it. You feel a deep desire to be a force of positive change—for the individuals you care for, but also within the field of cardiometabolic health-at large. You speak compassionately but earnestly, committing yourself fully to helping people understand their conditions, but also have faith in what’s possible with the right support and resources. 

You act from a place of empathy, always: taking the time to ask tailored questions, and get into the weeds with people to find the right solutions for them. In turn, the people you care for see you as a confidante. They turn to you because they know you’ll listen, and because they know that when they ask for help, you’ll go the extra mile to help them thrive.

Our Clinical Care Specialists provide direct care and education to patients with chronic cardiometabolic conditions in collaboration with our Physicians. In the spirit of transparency, we anticipate hiring for this position in Q4.
