Naturopathic Physician

**Unique Opportunity to Join a Successful Practice in Flagstaff**
Aspen Integrative Medical Center has an opening for a part-time or full-time ND/NMD employee to join our practice in Flagstaff, Arizona.

**Start Date**:July 2024

**Our Mission and Vision**
Our mission is to foster a healthier community using naturopathic medicine that promotes root cause healing, disease prevention, and optimal wellness. We achieve our mission by providing an individualized patient care approach, unparalleled medical services, and empowering health education. Our clinical offerings consistently evolve to integrate the newest research and cutting-edge therapies with traditional, naturopathic modalities to help our patients feel their best. We are committed to improving the lives of those with any illness and a future where everyone has the freedom to live a healthy life.

**About Us**
Aspen Integrative Medical Center is an established, full-service cash-based practice in downtown Flagstaff, Arizona with a long reputation of providing high-quality integrative medicine. Our clinic is currently open 9-5 Monday-Friday. Flagstaff is a beautiful, progressive, and small-business focused mountain town that deeply values natural medicine. It is a hub for Northern Arizona and its population of approximately 800,000. It sits at an elevation of ~7,000 feet with easy access to year-round outdoor activities including hiking, skiing, and mountain biking. The city is an excellent place to raise a family with diverse options of public/private schools, local restaurants, coffee shops, and culture. In addition the state of Arizona boasts one of the broadest naturopathic physician scopes to diagnose, treat, order, and interpret testing. The scope extends to extensive pharmaceutical prescribing and injection therapy rights. Northern Arizona has a limited number of NDs and thus high potential for growth including an opportunity to bring our medicine to nearby rural communities lacking access to naturopathic care.

Aspen uniquely blends cutting-edge and evidence-based therapies while honoring our ancestors with traditional, nature-cure naturopathic modalities. Our clinic culture is focused, warm, and respectful; our staff are very committed and revered by our patients and doctors. Our medical team currently includes Paul Despres, NMD, Alexandra Mele, ND, Amber Belt, ND, and Jamie Flanery, NMD. Our beautiful office space includes a full-service lab, an advanced IV suite (including ozone therapy, MAH, PRP, Prolotherapy), infrared sauna, hyperbaric oxygen chamber, and an extensive natural dispensary. Our doctors have full administrative support from our seasoned staff, nurse and medical assistant support, and an advertising team that continues to grow our online presence.
