About Bloom
Bloom Institute of Mental Health & Wellness is a multidisciplinary health and wellness clinic designed to bring practitioners together in a collaborative environment.
We believe that mental and physical health are closely connected.

The Opportunity
We are looking for an Alberta-licensed or licence-eligible MD or NP who is interested in building a functional and preventative medicine practice within an established clinical environment.

We are particularly interested in hearing from practitioners who have completed, are currently completing, or are considering additional education in functional or integrative medicine.
Training through the Institute for Functional Medicine (IFM), including AFMCP, or comparable functional/integrative medicine education is considered an asset.
Depending on the practitioner's interests and scope of practice, services may include:
- Comprehensive health and wellness assessments
- Digestive and gastrointestinal health
- Weight management
- Metabolic health
- Preventative medicine
- Lifestyle and nutrition-focused interventions
- Appropriate laboratory investigation and monitoring
- Hormonal and metabolic assessment
- Identification and management of chronic disease risk factors

Why Join Bloom?
This is an opportunity for a physician or NP who wants to practise differently without having to establish an entire clinic independently.

We welcome applications from both experienced functional medicine practitioners and clinicians who are earlier in their functional/integrative medicine training.
