AlterMed Research Foundation takes an integrative approach with health and medicine for human wellness, instead of reductionism of body parts. AlterMed Research Foundation is looking for an ongoing full-time or part-time Executive Director (ED) volunteer who is passionate about evidence-based integrative / holistic medicine, and can take AlterMed board's vision and mission, and grow the organization to the next level of sustainability, and thus make a bigger impact for human wellness. We aim to prevent cancer and chronic illness & improve patient experience so all people can be well, leveraging evidence-based holistic / integrative medicine / lifestyle changes (epigenetics), and the power of emerging technologies such as Artificial Intelligence, genetics / genomics, and data science using Holistic / Lifestyle datasets.

The medical and healthcare industries are undergoing an unprecedented technological advancement with Artificial Intelligence, robotics, wearables, big data / genomics, and other -omics etc. Different healthcare tools / modalities can be helpful at different times since everyone is unique.

This is a volunteering position with mentorship from the existing ED, and has the potential to grow into a paid position depending on the organization's operational funding which can be secured under the new ED leadership.

The ideal candidate must have a strong background in various non-profit areas such as strategic planning, leadership / community building, delegating, fundraising/ development / grant-writing, budgeting, program management, marketing / social media / communications, and people management.

The mission of AlterMed Research Foundation is to be a change agent, through education, patient access, research to achieve the full integration of evidence-based complementary and alternative medicine into conventional healthcare so all people can enjoy optimum wellness. AlterMed plans to continue in 3 areas: (1) Education (e.g. Colorado Integrative Medicine Conference), (2) Research (funding quality integrative medicine research at universities), and (3) Patient Access of personalized and evidence-based integrative / holistic medicine.

This candidate must have a clean personal financial credit history and pass both credit and background checks for this opportunity. A candidate with college / master's degree in the health sciences, and a minor in business, with an interest in evidence-based whole-person integrative health and the latest technologies in health, is preferred.
