We are specifically looking for a dietitian with prior clinical experience who is comfortable independently counseling patients undergoing medical weight-loss treatment.

• Counsel patients starting or currently taking GLP-1 and GLP-1/GIP medications
• Help patients meet appropriate protein, fiber, hydration, and nutritional goals during weight loss
• Develop strategies to help patients maintain lean muscle mass and establish sustainable eating habits
• Help patients manage nutritional challenges associated with medical weight-loss therapy, including decreased appetite, nausea, constipation, and difficulty meeting protein or calorie goals
• Provide medical nutrition therapy for patients with Type 2 diabetes and other metabolic conditions
• Educate patients regarding carbohydrate intake, meal planning, portion sizes, and healthy lifestyle changes
• Collaborate closely with the endocrinologist and clinical team
• Monitor patient progress and provide ongoing follow-up
• Document visits appropriately in the medical record

• Strong understanding of diabetes and metabolic health
• Comfortable working independently
• Excellent patient counseling and communication skills
• Comfortable with both in-person and telehealth visits
• Interested in helping us build and grow our nutrition and medical weight-management program

Schedule

This position will start at approximately 6–8 hours per week, with significant opportunity to add additional hours as the dietitian's patient schedule grows.

Scheduling is flexible, although we would prefer someone who can provide some appointment availability after 4:00 PM.

Visits can be in-person at our Wayne, NJ office, virtual, or a combination of both.

This is an excellent opportunity for an RD who is looking for a flexible part-time position and would like to develop a long-term role within a growing endocrinology and medical weight-management practice.
