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 consults collaboratively 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.
• Develop and implement individualized treatment plans based on the patient’s unique needs through regular telehealth meetings, including initial nutrition assessment, meal plan prescription (using Equip’s feeding philosophy), and target weight range assessment.
• Guide the process of exposure to fear/challenge foods.
• Communicate the patient’s meal plan and nutrition-related concerns clearly to all team members, providing education on resolving these concerns.
• Maintain a united front with the treatment team in interactions with families.
• Assist with discharge planning.
• Update treatment plans weekly with patient progress, goals, nutrition-related assignments, and concerns.
• Reassess nutritional needs on an ongoing basis and communicate recommendations to the treatment team and families.

• Establish a therapeutic relationship with families, including rapport building, boundary setting, and collaboration toward treatment goals.
• Thoroughly document care within Equip’s electronic medical record in accordance with policies and procedures.
• Perform other duties as assigned.
