  • Collaborate with behavioral health department to develop and implement interdisciplinary approaches to address the intersection of mental health conditions/exposure to trauma and food-related behaviors.
  • Design culturally appropriate patient education materials and promote adoption by the care team.
  • Provide trainings to clinical staff to increase knowledge of current nutrition guidelines, disease-specific dietary recommendations, and culturally competent approaches to working with patients.
  • Review free or low-cost phone applications that support patients' self-management goals around nutrition and promote patient adoption of high-quality tools.
Requirements
  • A valid license as a dietician or nutritionist in the District of Columbia is required.
  • A Master's Degree in Nutrition or closely related field is preferred.
  • Experience providing culturally competent, patient-centered education in a low-income setting is highly desired.
