About the role

Mederi Center in beautiful Ashland, Oregon is seeking an Oregon‑licensed Naturopathic Physician to provide comprehensive integrative primary care to patients throughout Southern Oregon. There is a growing need in the Rogue Valley for primary care physicians—and particularly for physicians who can provide the accessibility and continuity of primary care while offering the thoughtful, whole‑person approach that draws many patients to naturopathic medicine. This is a flexible, percentage‑based independent contractor opportunity for an ND who wants to practice meaningful medicine within a well‑supported, established integrative environment. Whether you are bringing an established patient panel, looking to build one, transitioning from another practice setting, or returning to clinical practice after time away, we are interested in building something together. An existing patient base is welcome but not required. We are open to finding the right structure for an experienced physician and creating an opportunity that fits their goals and availability.

Our beautiful Ashland clinic was designed to support thoughtful, relationship‑based medicine rather than rushed, transactional patient interactions. Our practice model allows for longer, more comprehensive appointments and creates space for practitioners to know their patients and engage with the full picture of each patient’s health. You will provide comprehensive primary care while incorporating the tools and perspectives that make naturopathic medicine distinctive, including prevention, nutrition, lifestyle medicine, botanical medicine, and individualized whole‑person care. The Mederi Center has an experienced team of practitioners who practice within the Mederi Care® model, creating an established integrative environment and a community of clinical expertise. At present, however, there is no physician at Mederi offering comprehensive primary care services. We see an opportunity to change that. Our goal is to build primary care at Mederi thoughtfully, in a way that serves the needs of patients throughout Southern Oregon while allowing the physician to work within the collaborative, integrative environment we have built.

The Mederi clinic offers a comfortable, welcoming setting designed for meaningful patient care. Our furnished treatment rooms are quiet and well suited to consultation, examination, and relationship‑based care. The space is intentionally oriented toward comprehensive outpatient primary care, clinical consultation, prevention, chronic disease management, and ongoing patient relationships.

One of the distinctive resources available at Mederi is our extensive on‑site herbal apothecary, staffed by an experienced herbalist. The apothecary includes more than 350 single‑extract botanicals, 40+ dried botanicals, more than 100 proprietary Mederi formulas, and professional‑grade nutritional supplements. Our herbalist works alongside the clinical team to support individualized botanical preparations for patients.

Mederi provides an experienced and dedicated support team designed to help practitioners spend more of their time with patients and less time navigating the operational details surrounding patient care. You will have a dedicated Client Liaison who assists with patient communication and follow‑up, preparing charts before appointments, treatment plans and patient handouts, lab and prescription coordination, Fullscript recommendations, scheduling and care coordination, ChARM EHR workflows and patient documentation, consultation invoicing and insurance billing preparation, referral coordination and prior authorization support. Mederi also provides reception, scheduling, medical records, billing, insurance processing, and clinic infrastructure.
