Clinical Dietitian Jobs in Illinois

A Clinical Dietitian is a certified professional in the nutrition industry who provides nutritional assessment, diagnosis, intervention, monitoring and evaluation for a variety of medical conditions. They work closely with healthcare professionals, providing individualized dietary advice to patients based on their medical profile and lifestyle.
