Integrative Medicine Physician

About the Institute for Health & Healing

Since 1994, the Institute for Health & Healing (IHH) at Sutter Health has been a pioneer in integrative health care, serving as California's first state-certified clinic combining conventional medicine with evidence-based complementary therapies. As part of IHH in San Francisco, you will join a mission-driven, philanthropy-based community dedicated to whole-person wellness.

Our team-based model emphasizes collaboration, prevention, and personalized healing journeys. This rich multidisciplinary mix enables a robust "mind, body, spirit" approach, allowing you to engage in integrative physician consults, coordinate care, and partner with colleagues ranging from chiropractors and acupuncturists to nutritionists and psychotherapists.

About the Role

In this full-time outpatient position, you will serve as a physician consultant for patients referred by Sutter colleagues or community providers seeking integrative approaches to complex or chronic conditions. You will incorporate both conventional and complementary therapies—including nutrition, mind-body practices, supplements, and lifestyle medicine—into personalized treatment plans.

The role offers a flexible schedule (0.8–1.0 FTE) with no inpatient or call responsibilities. You will support continuity and quality of care by maintaining accurate documentation while participating in community education, employee wellness programs, and philanthropic initiatives that promote whole-person health.

San Francisco serves as Northern California's financial and cultural hub, offering a mild climate, scenic rolling hills, and distinctive architecture. The city is known for its diverse population and forward-thinking community, which fosters a strong appreciation and high demand for holistic, integrative approaches to health and wellness.
