Dawson Integrative & Functional Medicine – Orlando, FL

This is long but I feel it is necessary to be fully transparent because this is my heart & soul .

We have built something different. We are a rapidly growing, full-spectrum integrative and functional medicine clinic in Orlando focused on root-cause healing, evidence-based functional medicine, hormone optimization, longevity, prevention, metabolic health and truly individualized care. We just celebrated our 5 year anniversary and we hold the title of Orlando's Best 2024 & 2025 AND Best of Florida 2025. We love what we do! Our staff includes 2 acupuncture physicians and 3 wonderful APRNs. Our patients are highly engaged, informed, motivated, and looking for providers who will listen, educate, collaborate, and guide.

We ARE looking for someone who:

• Is compassionate, emotionally intelligent, patient-centered and has amazing communication skills
• Loves educating and empowering patients and comfortable with shared decision making
• Understands that medicine is both science AND human connection
• Understands the nuances of functional medicine principles; thinking outside the box in a holistic manner is a must
• Is collaborative, adaptable, and open-minded
• Thrives in an integrative, innovative environment
• Wants to continuously learn and evolve
• Can critically think beyond conventional algorithms while still practicing safely and responsibly
• Understands the art of balancing evidence, clinical experience, and individualized patient goals
• Comfortable and confident in both prescribing medications but also recommending natural alternatives
• Welcomes patients of all ages (pediatrics and beyond)
• Appreciates paid administration & chart prep time as well as unrushed appointments averaging 30-60 minutes
• Desires a company that supports and respects work-life balance but can reciprocate the same support and respect

• Longevity & preventative medicine
• Nutritional and lifestyle medicine
• Integrative psychiatry / mood support
• Complex chronic illness cases
• Comfortable with off-label treatments (when appropriate): LDN, Leucovorin, etc

• Supplement knowledge (note, we believe "less is best" in regards to supplements)
• Comfortable in identifying patients that would benefit from other services we offer, including acupuncture

What Makes Our Practice Different:

• We prioritize relationships, not volume

• DEA License Required
• Family Nurse Practitioner due to the ages we see
• Medical Malpractice required
• Menopause Society Certified (bonus but not required)
• Functional Medicine certification, training or seasoned clinical experience preferred

• Strong communication skills and bedside manner
• Growth mindset and willingness to learn
• Must be compassionate, emotionally intelligent, professional and team-oriented
