Pippen Health, the virtual medicine practice affiliated with Found, is looking for registered dietitians (RDs) to join their team of care providers dedicated to delivering high-quality, patient-centric care. Found’s platform integrates leading weight management clinical practice with innovative technology to provide holistic support for patients during their health journeys. Led by Dr. Rekha Kumar, a leader in obesity medicine, Found's program brings a more personalized, supportive, and hands-on approach to obesity care than other telemedicine companies. 

You will get to be an early part of Found’s newest offering, expanding RD services and personalized nutritional coaching and support to members with insurance primarily through synchronous consultations. Consultations include health assessments, lab screenings, management of diagnoses related to obesity, documentation, & follow-up care for patients. Alongside our clinical prescribing and member support team, you will provide ongoing support to patients as they navigate their weight care journey, including managing medication side effects, changing nutrition treatment plans based on changes in patient’s health, weight loss progress, &/or insurance coverage. Best efforts are made to maintain continuity of care between patient & clinician to develop long-term relationships.

Providers at Found are passionate about increasing access, improving health outcomes, and delivering an excellent experience to patients at the cutting edge of weight management and obesity care. The ideal candidate would be a technologically-savvy, life-long learner who has independent practice experience in obesity medicine and telemedicine (synchronous and asynchronous). 

Research shows that addressing weight health reduces the long-term risk of diabetes, heart disease, and some forms of cancer. Found believes in giving members tools that will help them add years to their lives and reach their goals. Because weight care is not just what you've lost, it's about what you've Found.
