Physician Assistant or Nurse Practitioner

This is a unique opportunity for an exceptional Nurse Practitioner (NP) or Physician Assistant (PA) to join a medical practice unlike any you’ve experienced.

Our team practices medicine utilizing The Kaplan Method ™ — a comprehensive, systems-based approach that integrates conventional medicine with functional and integrative therapies to address chronic pain, complex illness, immune dysregulation, and longevity-focused care.

We focus on the immune system and the causes, maintenance, and treatment of inflammation as central to human health and healing.

About the Practice

At The Kaplan Center, we combine the best of:

• Conventional medical science
• Integrative and functional medicine
• Innovative, evidence-based therapies

Our multidisciplinary team collaborates to uncover root causes of disease and design individualized, multimodal treatment plans that promote long-term healing and vitality.

We do not participate in any insurance programs, which allows us to devote the necessary time and attention to each patient’s unique needs.

Learning and Training Commitment

This is not just a job but a learning opportunity.

The first three months will include intensive training and mentorship directly under the Medical Director, involving observation, case review, and supervised patient care.

• Alignment with the vision, mission, and goals of the practice is essential.

If you are eager to learn deeply, grow professionally, and practice medicine differently, you will find this environment deeply rewarding.

Key Responsibilities

• Conduct comprehensive patient assessments and develop personalized care plans aligned with The Kaplan Method.
• Assist in the diagnosis and management of patients with chronic pain, inflammation, and immune dysregulation.
• Collaborate with a multidisciplinary team, including physicians, nutritionists, and physical therapists.
• Order, interpret, and synthesize findings from both standard and advanced diagnostic testing.
• Educate patients on prevention, lifestyle medicine, and long-term wellness.
• Participate in ongoing professional education, case discussions, and research initiatives within the clinic.

Qualifications

• Current licensure as a Nurse Practitioner or Physician Assistant.
• Minimum 2 years of clinical experience (experience in internal medicine, integrative, functional medicine, and women's health preferred).
• Strong interest in immune function, inflammation, and chronic disease mechanisms.
• Excellent communication, critical thinking, and team collaboration skills.
• Commitment to ongoing learning and alignment with a root-cause, integrative model of care.

Why Join Us

• Train directly under an experienced physician innovator in integrative and regenerative medicine.
• Join a collaborative team that values curiosity, compassion, and continuous learning.
• Help patients heal deeply by addressing underlying causes of illness.
• Grow into a long-term role within a respected, forward-thinking medical practice.

How to Apply

While your resume is important, we are more interested in your “why.”

If you wish to be considered, you must include a cover letter that demonstrates you have researched our practice and explains why you are passionate about what we do.

Think of this as an application for advanced training and long-term professional growth, not just employment.

We will be investing in training you, and we expect that you will invest in us.

If you are inspired to learn a new way to practice medicine, grow as a clinician, and contribute meaningfully to our mission — we’d love to hear from you.
