Are you interested in working in a modern office environment with cutting edge research and ideas being applied to the problems of how to improve human wellbeing and flourishing? We are a cooperative and caring small clinical team and we treat and care for people suffering with two problems, depression and obesity, which will give you the honor of helping some of the most vulnerable members of our human family. Do you love working directly with patients and providing a positive impact on their lives? Do you have a friendly demeanor and excellent communication skills? Consider joining our team at Dignity Weight Center/Dignity Brain Health (hereafter “Dignity”)!!

Communication skills, empathy, health education skills are essential for the position. Being able to review evidence based guidelines with patients and learn about their lives and provide general supportive care is key.
