Overview

Pediatric Registered Dietitian (RD/LDN) – Tube Feeding & Complex Care

Pediatric Specialty Care at Philadelphia | East Falls, Philadelphia, PAPart-Time, Monday–Friday days, flexibility as needed | no on-call

For our kids, nutrition isn't one part of the care plan. It's the foundation.

Most of the 50 children who live at PSC Philadelphia are medically fragile, and many are fed by G-tube or J-tube. Every formula you choose, every calorie you adjust and every growth trend you catch shapes how they grow, heal and thrive. Here, the dietitian is a core member of the care team, not an afterthought.

Why Pediatric Dietitians Choose PSC

Own your caseload. You're the nutrition expert in the building, with the autonomy to set the plan and the team support to carry it out.

Build rare expertise. Enteral nutrition, growth in complex conditions, feeding progression and nutrition-focused physical exams. This is the experience that sets a pediatric RD's career apart.

A schedule that respects your life. Weekday daytime hours. No on-call.

A team that works together. Collaborate daily with nurses, physicians, speech and feeding therapists, and families.
