In collaboration with the physician and interdisciplinary team, the Registered Dietician develops and implements an individualized care plan designed to promote the patient's understanding and management of their condition, optimize quality of life, and improve clinical outcomes. This will include patients with cognitive disabilities and food insecurity whom the dietician will be expected to counsel and guide toward resources.

This role will also develop and manage various nutritional programs, including group visits for the division.
