Virtual Diabetes Nurse Clinician - Part Time/Nights/Weekends

Virta is a life-changing program to lose weight and reverse type 2 diabetes, and our mission is to help reverse type 2 diabetes in 100 million people. We partner with employers, health plans, and government agencies to provide their employees and members access to our programs at no extra cost to individuals. You can also access Virta by paying out of pocket if you aren’t able to get coverage as a benefit.  

Virta members gain access to a dedicated care team that partners with them to craft a personalized care plan, using proven nutrition science over medications. Our fully virtual on demand support and personalized feedback give members a “provider in your pocket” experience empowering them to lose weight, lower blood sugar and transform their health by treating the root cause of the disease. 

Our Virtual Diabetes Nurse Clinicians play an important role in the journey of a Virta applicant turning into a Virta member! After a member application is submitted, applicants are prompted to schedule a Clinical Intake Call (CIC) with one of our Virtual RNs (that could be you!). 

CIC’s are scheduled for 20 minutes at a time and are conducted over Zoom so you will be patient facing on a regular basis. There is a minimum amount of CIC’s that RNs are expected to complete on a weekly basis. The minimum number of CIC’s are dependent on how many hours you work on a weekly basis (ex: 40 hours/week = 72 CICs). 

CIC’s will include verifying and documenting clinical history, verifying medications, answering basic questions about Virta’s program, identifying / flagging concerning history or labs for our providers to review, and sending history to one of our clinician’s who will make the final decision on if it is safe or not for this applicant to join Virta’s program.

The CIC is also designed to provide information and a modest amount of education to the patient in order to set them up for success once they start the Virta program.

Responsibilities:

• Conduct 20-minute clinical intake visits with prospective patients via video and/or phone. Intakes include verifying and documenting a clinical history, verifying medications, answering basic questions about Virta treatment, and identifying and flagging concerning history or labs for provider review.

• There could be multiple openings on the team and we are always looking for RNs that are open to flexing to additional hours during the work week. If that doesn't work for you, that’s OK too!

• Minimum of two years experience working with diabetes patients in a clinical setting
