Dietitian: 1-1 Counseling, 100% Remote

About Us:

Next Step Nutrition Counseling is a rapidly growing dietetics practice that is seeking dietitians who have mastered presenting medical nutrition therapy in terms the patient can understand. We have a high focus on educational flexibility to meet the patient's level of understanding and learning style to mitigate their condition. We additionally seek individuals who are comfortable providing or tailoring recipes, are knowledgeable with specific food substitutions/brands, and have a love for food, not simply for restriction.

To accomplish this, we exclusively provide one-on-one counseling sessions in this 100% remote position. Our team manages the intake process and billing process, so you can focus on what matters: making a lasting change in the patients we see.

This is not a test but more of an understanding in how you function as a dietitian.
