Position Overview

SUMMARY:

The Clinical Nutrition Specialist possesses the expertise and competencies essential for delivering suitable care across all age groups, including pediatric, adolescent, adult, and geriatric populations served by the Food & Nutrition Department. This role encompasses the responsibility for inpatient care, which includes dietary guidance, evaluation of food and medication interactions, and conducting comprehensive nutritional assessments as part of the Nutrition Care Process. The specialist calculates nutritional needs, evaluates the effectiveness of nutrition support, and offers recommendations regarding enteral and parenteral nutrition. Additionally, the specialist engages in community nutrition initiatives and collaborates as a vital member of the healthcare team to ensure optimal nutritional care.
