Join your live training and welcome sessions!
We host several live sessions weekly to support your onboarding and encourage collaboration within our clinical community.

(Weekly) Case Review and Collaboration (CRC) Meetings
CRC meetings are optional meetings where dietitians get together to discuss casework, new research, trends in care, etc. CRCs are a great opportunity to build community and get support from other Nourish dietitians.
There are eight specialty-specific CRCs held on a recurring, weekly basis. You are welcome to attend as many as you would like and find valuable.
(Monthly) All Hands
All Hands is a monthly, company-wide meeting led by Clinical Support Leadership. In All Hands, we re-connect with our mission & vision, hear business updates, and learn from fellow dietitians sharing best practices and/or current research.
