• A Passion for People: You care deeply about your patients—not just symptom relief, but long-term outcomes and overall well-being.
• A True Team Player: You enjoy collaborating with physical therapists and other providers to create integrated, results-driven care plans.
• Motivated and Driven: You show up with intention, energy, and a commitment to excellence—every single day.
• A Humble Learner: You’re open to feedback, mentorship, and evolving your craft within a high-performance environment.
• An Owner’s Mindset: You take pride in your work, your schedule, and your patient outcomes. You don’t wait—you take initiative.
• Positive Energy is Your Superpower: You elevate the experience for both patients and teammates. People enjoy being around you.
• A Strong Communicator: You can educate, connect, and build trust quickly with patients from all backgrounds.
• Growth-Minded: You’re here to build something meaningful—not just fill hours.

Why Clinicians Choose TRPT

• Meaningful Results: We don’t chase visits—we deliver outcomes. Acupuncture is integrated into care plans that actually move the needle.
• Championship Team Culture: No egos. No silos. Just a team aligned around one mission: helping people move, feel, and live better.
• Growth & Mentorship: You’ll be surrounded by high-level clinicians and leadership committed to your development.
• Integrated Care Model: Work alongside PT, OT, chiropractors, and other services to provide truly comprehensive care—not fragmented treatment.

We’re Not Hiring for a Seat—We’re Building a Team
