About the role

The Registered Dietitian will be responsible for all nutrition-related aspects of care and will work closely with family members to equip them with the skills needed to nutritionally restore their child. Equip is a “virtual clinic,” meaning care is delivered remotely through our telehealth platform. The Registered Dietitian collaborates with the Equip treatment team to provide evidence-based care for families undergoing eating disorder treatment for their child via Equip’s family-based treatment approach.

Responsibilities

• Assist patients and families in helping the patient transform maladaptive eating patterns into a healthy relationship with food through ongoing support.

• Perform other duties as assigned.
