Job description

The Registered Dietitian role at 9amHealth is a full-time virtual clinical care position in the United States. The role provides diabetes, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and weight-loss care through chat, phone, and video. The clinician creates physician consults, develops nutrition and lifestyle plans, interprets health metrics and lab results, and tracks member progress.

9amHealth uses virtual specialty care for obesity, diabetes, hypertension, and dyslipidemia. The position requires a licensed Registered Dietitian Nutritionist with at least five years of direct patient-care experience, preferably in clinical or telehealth settings focused on chronic disease management. The broader field includes virtual nutrition roles and in-person clinical work, while the role's own schedule includes two weekends each quarter.

• Role: Clinical Care Specialist, Registered Dietitian
• Employer: 9amHealth
• Employment type: Full-time
• Work arrangement: Virtual care with work-from-home options in the United States
• Clinical focus: Diabetes, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, obesity, and weight loss
• Schedule: Two weekends per quarter, with regular member check-ins as needed

An applicant's materials can address licensure, chronic disease care, virtual-care experience, medication adjustment, electronic medical record use, and collaboration with care teams. The role also recognizes CDCES or BC-ADM certification and multilingual skills, including Spanish, as relevant qualifications.

Cardiometabolic Member Care

The Registered Dietitian manages a panel of members seeking to prevent or manage chronic cardiometabolic conditions. Daily care includes education, support, motivational interviewing, coaching, and counseling delivered through digital communication rather than a single in-person visit.

The clinician develops nutrition and lifestyle plans, interprets health metrics and laboratory results, and tracks progress over time. Diabetes, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, obesity, and weight loss require plans that connect food behavior, medication-related guidance, measurable health data, and follow-up conversations.

Clinical Consults And Care Coordination

9amHealth's care model uses specialized clinicians, at-home laboratory testing, prescription medications, and lifestyle support for people managing high-cost chronic conditions. The Registered Dietitian creates physician consults when a member's needs require medical input and works with Patient Care Advocates and pharmacists during care delivery.

The role also includes member documentation and coordination with other providers. Clinical dietitians develop customized nutrition programs around patient health needs and coordinate with doctors, nurses, speech pathologists, and other healthcare professionals, according to the American Society for Nutrition .

Digital Care And Documentation

Chat, phone, and video are the primary communication channels for this position. A private workspace, reliable high-speed internet, comfort with virtual care, and experience with electronic medical records support the clinical work.

Documentation records member progress, health metrics, care plans, and follow-up needs. The role also includes medication adjustment work, regular member check-ins, and communication that remains clear when a care interaction takes place without a shared physical clinic.

Schedule And Professional Standards

The position requires two weekends per quarter and additional member check-ins as needed. The schedule therefore combines planned weekend coverage with clinical follow-up that responds to member care needs.

• Care channels: Chat, phone, and video
• Clinical records: Member documentation and electronic medical records
• Core collaboration: Patient Care Advocates, pharmacists, physicians, and other care providers
• Preferred credentials: CDCES or BC-ADM, or eligibility for either certification

The role's clinical boundaries include the employer's care model, quality expectations, and member-service processes. Confidential handling of health information and accurate interpretation of clinical data remain part of responsible virtual care.

RDN Credential And Ongoing Practice

The role requires a licensed Registered Dietitian Nutritionist and at least five years of direct patient care experience. Chronic disease management, medication adjustment, virtual care, digital health, and electronic medical record experience all connect directly to the position's daily work.

The RDN pathway includes graduate-level education, ACEND-accredited coursework and supervised practice, a national Commission on Dietetic Registration examination, state practice requirements, and continuing professional development, according to the Academy RDN pathway . CDCES or BC-ADM certification adds a focused credential for diabetes care and education.

9amHealth began in 2021 and works with employers, health plans, and pharmacy benefit managers. Its clinical network includes endocrinologists, obesity medicine specialists, clinical pharmacists, and other care professionals who support virtual treatment for chronic conditions.

The employer provides health, dental, and vision insurance, flexible paid time off, work-from-home options, a professional development budget, and continuing education support. A candidate entering the role brings licensed dietetics practice, chronic-care experience, and the digital habits required for member care across chat, phone, and video.
