About the Role

Hawthorne Health is seeking a Registered Dietitian (RD/RDN) to join our growing clinical research network on a PRN contract basis, supporting clinical trial participants through our Boynton Beach, Florida research site.

This is a remote, part-time opportunity for a Registered Dietitian interested in bringing their expertise into the clinical research space. The Dietitian may be based anywhere in the United States but must maintain an active Registered Dietitian (RD/RDN) credential and active Florida Dietitian/Nutritionist license to provide services to participants located in Florida.

In this role, you will conduct virtual nutrition and lifestyle counseling sessions with clinical trial participants in accordance with study protocols. Visits will be scheduled based on study requirements, participant enrollment, and patient availability, so we’re looking for someone who can provide consistent part-time support as patient visits are scheduled.

You’ll partner closely with our clinical research team to provide an engaging, high-quality participant experience while ensuring study-specific requirements and documentation are completed accurately and on time.

This is a great opportunity for a Dietitian seeking part-time work and exposure to the growing field of clinical research, while directly supporting patients participating in innovative clinical trials.

• Conduct 30-minute, protocol-required telehealth nutrition and lifestyle counseling sessions with assigned clinical trial participants every four weeks throughout the 52-week study period.
• Provide individualized, evidence-based nutrition counseling and lifestyle education in accordance with the clinical trial protocol and sponsor requirements.
• Educate participants on healthy dietary habits, physical activity, and sustainable lifestyle modifications to support study objectives.
• Utilize motivational interviewing and participant-centered communication techniques to encourage participant engagement and adherence throughout the study.
• Accurately document all participant interactions, counseling sessions, and required assessments in study documentation and electronic systems.
• Collaborate with Clinical Research Coordinators, Principal Investigators, and the study team to communicate participant progress, scheduling needs, and any protocol-related concerns.
• Promptly report participant safety concerns, adverse events, or potential protocol deviations to the appropriate study personnel.
• Complete all required study-specific training and maintain compliance with Good Clinical Practice (GCP), ICH guidelines, HIPAA, sponsor requirements, and all applicable regulatory standards.
• Maintain participant confidentiality while delivering a professional, compassionate, and engaging telehealth experience.
  Effectively manage a flexible remote schedule to ensure timely completion of assigned participant visits.
