Picture yourself collaborating with a dynamic care team in a region known for its beauty, from Napa Valley vineyards to redwood-adorned hillsides, offering a backdrop that nourishes both professional purpose and personal well-being.

In this location, you’ll enjoy a supportive, patient-centered environment with opportunities to collaborate across disciplines, coordinate with hospitals and clinics, and connect patients to vital social supports. The role also includes the flexibility to broaden your horizons through assignments across the U.S. when rotations are available, enriching your professional repertoire and exposing you to diverse patient populations, urban centers, and rural settings. Beyond the professional experience, California’s natural beauty invites you to unwind in the region’s scenic parks, vineyards, and coastlines, promoting a balanced, restorative life while you deliver transformative care.
