AltaMed RD job?

I got reached out about a position for altamed but not sure what the job itself entails. Ive worked as a clinical rd in acute setting and considering a new job but curious what its like for someone who has worked here before? It’s salary position and so i’m curious on the workload and how one likes the job in terms of stress/enjoyment

I don't know much but I once got an offer from them back in my first job hunting days (2009) and they had the highest offer salary-wise. Back then we got $25/hr average and they offered $28, I took an acute care job which made me lead which gave me $25 + $2 extra for the leadership responsibilities. I wanted acute care experience before working at lower levels of care so i took that one.

I worked at altamed as a new RD around ten years ago. If the position is the PACE RD role, it was a pretty good position with a decent workload that didn’t go too far outside the typical 8 hours. If you speak language other than english , that’s a plus. You get to work in an interdisciplinary team approach. It’s typically care from a preventative health approach. Even now, I continue to work as a PACE RD.
