  • Maintain proficiency in general integrative medicine and evaluate patients with non-oncology integrative medicine needs as appropriate.

  • Participate in the development of integrative oncology workflows, referral pathways, patient education, and quality-improvement efforts at the Santa Clara Cancer Care Center.

  • Work collaboratively within a multispecialty medical group and communicate recommendations clearly to referring clinicians.

  • Participate in or help develop shared medical appointments or group visits when appropriate.


Qualifications:

  • MD or DO degree with eligibility for medical licensure in California.

  • Board certification or board eligibility in a primary care specialty.

  • Commitment to safe, coordinated care and clear communication with patients, families, and clinical colleagues.

Preferred Experience and Skills:

  • Clinical experience in integrative oncology or oncology supportive care.

  • Experience caring for patients with fatigue, treatment-related symptoms, gastrointestinal concerns, mental health needs, hormonal concerns, and other complex chronic conditions.

  • Experience with trauma-informed care.

  • Experience developing clinical programs, referral pathways, shared medical appointments, or group visits.

  • For DO applicants, experience with osteopathic manipulative treatment is a plus.


Join Us and Enjoy:
