We are looking for a dynamic, compassionate, experienced nutritionist/dietitian to join our Federally Qualified Health Center in the Rogue Valley (Medford, Oregon). The mission of all FQHCs is to provide excellent health care services to otherwise under-served populations. Comprehensive, integrated care is the cornerstone of our patient-centered medical home. Our team approach incorporates primary care medicine, integrative and functional medicine, behavioral health, community health, and dental services. Our Integrative Health Center is growing and our successful candidate will become an important part of this clinic, as well as serving the nutritional care needs of our primary health care centers.
Our ideal candidate is someone who is committed to serving our patient population, and has the ability to adjust their nutrition counseling methods and style to facilitate patient empowerment and self-care.

In addition, you should be ready to work with community resources for the purpose of providing optimal nutrition education and counseling services to our patients. The ability to adjust to different clinic settings and travel short distances to provide services within a specific clinic is important.
