Dietitian

Your expertise. Your patients. Your impact.

At DaVita, Registered Dietitians are essential members of the kidney care team. You’ll have the opportunity to build meaningful relationships with patients, collaborate with healthcare professionals, and use your clinical knowledge to directly influence patient outcomes.

What makes this opportunity different?

Make a meaningful impact on patient care. As a renal dietitian, you’ll work closely with Registered Nurses, Patient Care Technicians, Social Workers, Facility Administrators, and physicians to develop individualized care plans. You’ll help manage patients’ nutritional health, monitor clinical outcomes, participate in interdisciplinary care discussions, and serve as a trusted resource for patients navigating kidney disease.

Enjoy independence and flexibility in your workday. Our dietitians have the opportunity to take ownership of their patient schedules, organize clinical priorities, and manage their responsibilities with a level of professional independence. Depending on clinic needs, you may support patients across multiple dialysis facilities.

Grow your clinical expertise and leadership skills. As you grow in your role, you may have opportunities to take on leadership roles such as Mineral Bone Density Manager, Fluid Advisor, ONS Program Leader, lead quality improvement efforts, become a preceptor, or mentor dietetic interns.
