You're into collaborative healing with patients, and good communication with a team. You want to be supported while you flow in your zone of genius: providing excellent care to patients. You are an emotionally mature professional who sees the value of working with a team rather than running your own show and all the details that entails. In short, you are an effective professional. You love Chinese Medicine. You enjoy connecting with people and don't find it "draining." You aren't interested in having or starting your own practice now, or in five to ten years. You like having someone else run the business side of things! You genuinely enjoy this work. You are a licensed acupuncturist (or able to be) in the State of California. You are fluent in English and are able to be insured. Who are we? We are a busy community, cash-based practice in beautiful Chico, CA.

We see six people per hour, and train you on systems so that you can give great treatments and NOT go home drained. We want you to make a GREAT living with us, doing what you love. If seeing six people per hour sounds overwhelming or exhausting to you, this is probably not a good fit.

Chico has a lower cost of living compared to the rest of California. We have Chico State University which brings lots of performances and speakers. Bidwell Park, one of the largest municipal parks in the country, has miles of hiking trails, wild flowers, gorgeous creeks, and deep cool swimming holes for summer time fun. And world class mountain biking. We are at the base of the Sierra Nevada foothills, and have a commanding view up and down the idyllic

Sacramento Valley:

The Coastal range, Mount Shasta and Mount Lassen. You can be to San Francisco in less than two hours driving, or be into the wilderness or skiing in less than two hours driving. Getting around town is easy, low commute times, most often no traffic. Relatively flat routes through town makes biking a breeze. Sierra Nevada Brewery brings world class eating and entertainment and is always a fun stop for guests visiting from out of town. Often moving to Chico is an offer of a slower pace, and lots of soil to plant the garden you've been dreaming of. Timing We are looking for someone to start this position as soon as August, when school gets back in session and all of our Chico families start their routines back up (including their regular acupuncture treatments). If you're the right fit, and your timing puts your start date out further, we can work with you. Snap Shot •
