RDN or RDN eligible part-time (1-3 days/week) outpatient position is available on South Hill in Puyallup, Washington. This independent position involves assisting in the nutrition education, guidance, support, coaching and accountability of a wide variety of physician referred patients. MNT benefits those patients struggling with one or more health conditions such as HTN, DM, Celiac Sprue, Crohn's disease, Tummy Troubles (IBS/SIBO), Lipid Management and obesity/weight management (not limited to).

A prosperous caseload is dependent on the clinical and relational/listening skills of the RDN being capable to engage every patient for multiple face-to face (60 minute) Medical Nutrition Therapy (MNT) sessions for optimal clinical outcomes. Multiple visits result in improved clinical outcomes. The improved clinical outcomes benefit the health of the patient. The improved health of the patient benefits the reputation of our profession in the community and to the referring providers.

In order to facilitate a consistent plan-of-care, all in-person appointments afford the opportunity for remote MNT during transportation issues, inclement weather, illness of the patient or illness of a family member of the patient.

This position offers the rewarding experience of getting to know patients while slowly navigating their health challenges and sustainability struggles by providing strategic resolutions that only an RDN professional would know.

This is a short-term > permanent contracted position. Working beyond and outside of contract is always welcome. Being part-time there are no medical or vacation paid time benefits. If an RDN wants to take time off she/he just blocks the schedule, so no patients are scheduled.  In order to maintain a consistent plan-of care and to maximize improved outcomes the RDN is encouraged to increase availability the week before the scheduled vacation time off and increase availability the week after any scheduled time off.
