Overview

The Fellowship Program at HeCares Foundation provides specialty training in orthopedic medicine onsite at the HeCares clinic, and is comparable to Western medical fellowships. This program is designed for integrative traditional Chinese medicine practitioners looking for a more in-depth continued education course.

The training is led by Frank He, L.Ac, QME, DAOM, founder of HeCares Integrative & Sports Medicine Center, and expert in neuromuscular and pain management.

Fellowship responsibilities include patient care, administrative duties related to patient care, responding to Hurgent Care calls, assistance in daily clinic operations, and basic clinic management.

Pay will be comparable to local Western Medical fellowships and is based on the hours to which each candidate commits. Candidates who successfully complete their fellowship are eligible to join the HeCares Team.
