TeleHealth Metabolic Nurse

Virta is an online specialty medical clinic that reverses type 2 diabetes and obesity safely and sustainably. Our innovations in the application of nutritional biochemistry, data science, and digital tools--combined with our clinical expertise--are shifting the metabolic health treatment paradigm from management to reversal. 

Virta has developed a novel, team-based care model that delivers the Virta treatment exclusively through a telemedicine platform, with no brick-and-mortar clinics. 

We’ve been reversing diabetes for the last seven years, we see patients in all 50 states, and we are expanding our reach to patients with pre-diabetes and obesity. 

To achieve that mission, Virta is hiring RN CDE/CDCES’ to join our team. 

We are hiring for fully virtual, full time roles with set hours, although some shifts will include early morning, evening, and weekend hours.

The Role:

Virta is launching a service for a select group of patients to assist them with their weight loss goals leveraging Virta’s well established approach to obesity reversal as well as GLP-1 agonist medications. We are looking for a small number of RNs who live in a nursing compact state to help our physicians and nurse practitioners launch this service. The role requires experience with diabetes and obesity care and an innovator’s spirit, as this program is new, and we need problem solvers who are willing to help Virta build this program from the ground up.

• Educate patients about Virta and Virta’s treatment and help them prepare for their nutritional and behavioral journey with Virta, setting them up for clinical success.

• Use motivational interviewing techniques to help patients progress in their weight management journey.

• Supporting patients on their obesity reversal journey, whether it involves nutritional change, medication or both, but with a firm understanding and commitment to Virta’s nutrition-first approach to weight loss.

• Collaborate closely with our clinical and technology teams to help us build out this new service line. We are committed to providing our patients with an evidence-based, highly-effective clinical program.

• Embrace a MVP (minimal viable product) approach to clinical program development.

• As time allows, provide clinical support for our team of providers (MDs and NPs). Responsibilities include panel management, …
