About the job
At Virta Health, we are dedicated to transforming the lives of individuals affected by metabolic diseases. Our goal is ambitious: to reverse metabolic disease for one billion people worldwide. With alarming rates of type 2 diabetes, prediabetes, and obesity, traditional treatment methods have proven inadequate. We are pioneering a new approach that combines cutting-edge technology, personalized nutrition, and a reimagined virtual care delivery system. Backed by over $350 million in funding from leading investors, we collaborate with major health plans, employers, and government agencies to empower individuals to regain their health and reclaim their lives. Join us in our mission to create a healthier future for all.
To support this mission, we are seeking Registered Nurses (RNs) with expertise in weight loss and GLP-1 medications to join our innovative team.
This is a fully remote, full-time position with set hours from Monday to Friday, including holiday coverage as part of a rotating schedule.
Your Role:
As a Nurse Coach at Virta, you will play a vital role in our Responsible Prescribing initiative, guiding patients on their journey to achieve weight loss through our established obesity reversal protocols and GLP-1 agonist medications. We are looking for RNs residing in nursing compact states who are ready to collaborate with our physicians and nurse practitioners. This role demands a passion for innovation and a background in diabetes and obesity care. You will be instrumental in shaping this new program, which requires creative problem solvers who can help us build effective solutions from the ground up. Experience in a non-traditional healthcare setting, such as a health tech company, is highly valued and essential for success.
