Naturopathic Physician OR Functional Medicine Nurse Practitioner
Elixir: A Wellness Collective — Bend, Oregon
A Different Kind of Medical Role
This role is not for someone simply looking for another clinic job.
We are looking for a naturopathic physician who feels called to be part of the next evolution of integrative medicine — someone who believes that healing is not just about managing symptoms, but about helping patients experience meaningful transformation in their health, mindset, and lives.
At Elixir, we work with patients who are ready to engage deeply in their healing. Our team blends naturopathic and functional medicine, lifestyle change, nervous system regulation, and ketamine-assisted therapy to support profound shifts in wellbeing.
The practitioner who thrives here is confident, grounded, curious, and motivated by purpose. They enjoy forming long-term patient relationships, collaborating with a thoughtful team, and contributing to a clinic that is building something genuinely innovative.
If you’re looking for a stable position where you can practice deeply meaningful medicine while enjoying a balanced lifestyle in Bend, this may be the opportunity you’ve been searching for.
