About The Role

Mochi Medical, originally founded as an obesity management practice, is expanding its virtual care model beyond weight management. We're looking for Certified Nutrition Specialists who are committed to delivering high-quality, accessible, and affordable medical nutrition therapy alongside our Registered Dietitian Nutritionists.

• Use motivational interviewing to guide patients toward sustainable lifestyle change.
• Document visits in our EMR using our nutrition note templates.

• Practice only in states where you are legally permitted to provide MNT and only with patients located in those states.
• Adapt to a fast-paced startup environment and contribute to team-wide improvements.
