For Immediate Release
Apr 11, 2016
Federal Way, WA—The Institute for Functional Medicine (IFM) has announced its collaboration with Integrated Connections, a leading-edge placement firm that specializes exclusively in the field of functional and integrative medicine and connects providers to career opportunities in which they can transform health.
IFM and Integrated Connections have created a platform that allows for functional medicine practitioners to learn about and apply for professional opportunities that may be of interest. This new platform replaces IFM’s “Professional Opportunities” board and provides a much more robust service for recruitment as well as posting and searching for opportunities. This is a tool both for clinicians looking for a new job opportunity and practices searching for a provider to add to their team.
IFM’s Chief Executive Officer Laurie Hofmann, MPH, remarks, “IFM is pleased to announce our collaboration with Integrated Connections. As the functional medicine movement continues to grow, we are witnessing vastly expanded professional opportunities for IFM Certified Practitioners to practice functional medicine in settings uniquely suited to their interests and skills. This collaboration provides a menu of much-needed services to match professional opportunities with employers and practice owners/partners. We hope the functional medicine community will take full advantage of the services provided through our collaboration with Integrated Connections.”
IFM members who are interested in receiving information regarding career opportunities will be able to sign up for monthly job alerts through Integrated Connections. All IFM members will receive a 50% discount on job advertising services.
“This is an exciting partnership that is vital to support the increasing demand of functional medicine career opportunities across the nation,” says Lisa McDonald, founder of Integrated Connections.
Effective Monday, April 4, 2016, all job posting inquiries will be redirected to Integrated Connections.
