About the role:
Foodsmart is seeking Registered Dietitians (RDs) to support the comprehensive nutrition care mission of Foodsmart Nutrition Network, which is grounded in removing the financial barriers in accessing and affording healthy food. Our Foodsmart RDs leverage Foodsmart's digital platform to provide a broad range of nutrition and health-related consultations, ultimately helping our members stretch their food dollar, eat healthier, and reduce the risk of chronic disease.
In this role, you'll have the ability to truly change the lives of the members we serve, many of whom are Medicaid members and from underserved communities. You will tackle the root causes of food and nutrition insecurity. This means that you will provide MNT in multiple capacities, including supporting your patient in accessing and using SNAP benefits, affording and buying groceries digitally on Foodsmart's marketplace, and building healthier eating and shopping habits for life. Foodsmart removes the barriers that prevent so many people from eating healthier--so that you, as an RD, can have a major impact on each and every member.
Role Expectations:
- You are completing at least 6 follow-up visits with your patients
- You are receiving an NPS of 80% and above
- You find value in developing lasting relationships with your patients to support them towards sustainable behavior change and improved health outcomes
You Will:
- Provide individualized medical nutrition therapy (MNT) via remote sessions to patients with a variety of health and lifestyle needs
- Document care in electronic medical record according to Nutrition Care Process
- Assist patients in getting the most utility out of Foodsmart's digital platform
- Manage a panel of clients/patients with a variety of chronic health conditions and backgrounds
- Communicate effectively and empathetically with clients/patients through HIPAA-compliant video calls and electronic messaging

- Must have at least one state licensure

Nice to Have:
- Multilingual (native level) language capabilities
- Multiple active state licenses or certifications

Compensation
- $12/unit for Medical Nutrition Therapy (MNT). Each unit for MNT is 15 minutes, so you'd earn $48 for a visit that lasted for one hour. Most of our visits are one hour
