Posting Note: As a CF Dietitian, you will play a key role in supporting patients with cystic fibrosis by assessing nutritional status, growth, and daily food intake. You will help patients achieve and maintain optimal body weight, ensuring they receive the calories and nutrients needed to support lung health and overall well-being.
Working collaboratively with patients and their families, you will provide individualized nutrition education that aligns with each patient’s goals and lifestyle. This includes adjusting eating plans, recommending appropriate dietary supplements and vitamins, managing pancreatic enzyme therapy, and identifying tube feeding as a supportive option when oral intake alone is not sufficient.
You will also contribute to the management of CF-related complications, including CF-related diabetes (CFRD) and bone health conditions such as osteoporosis.

• Assess nutritional status, growth, and dietary intake for patients with CF
• Develop and implement individualized nutrition care plans
• Support patients in achieving and maintaining a healthy weight
• Recommend fat-soluble vitamins, pancreatic enzymes, and additional supplements
• Collaborate with patients and families to meet nutritional goals, including tube feeding when indicated
