Careers
We're not hiring today — but we'd like to know who you are.
Meliora is a small, founder-led integrative medicine practice in Evanston, Illinois. We're building carefully and we want our next hires to be the right ones. If our approach resonates with you, share your background — we'll keep it on file and reach out when we're ready.
Where We Are
Honest about the moment.
We are a solo-physician practice with a lean clinical and operations team. We're in the middle of a platform launch, a CRM migration, and a thoughtful evaluation of what each new role would add — both for patients and for the people doing the work.
That means: no live job listings, no committed timelines. What we have is a real talent network, read by Dr. Chua and her team, that we draw from when we're ready to hire. If your background is a fit, we'll reach out directly. If you'd rather move on something now, please do — we'd rather you find the right role than wait on us.

For Clinicians
Partner with Meliora.
If you are a Nurse Practitioner, Physician Assistant, or MD interested in learning, practicing, or extending the Meliora Method — whether through referrals, co-management, or eventually as a certified Method Practitioner — there is a path for you. We are building this carefully, and we want partners who care about the standard as much as we do.
Referral Partnership
Tier 1For clinicians whose patients fall outside their scope (hormonal, metabolic, neurological). Refer to us; we take care of them and return findings to you.
No cost · no commitment
Remote Co-Management
Tier 2For NPs and physicians outside Chicago who want to learn the Meliora Method by co-managing complex patients with Dr. Chua. You stay the local clinician; we provide the workup, plan, and protocol.
Per-case or annual access
Method Practitioner
Tier 3 — coming 2027Structured certification for established clinicians who want to adopt the Meliora Method as the spine of their own practice. 12-week curriculum · case reviews · listing in the clinician directory.

How We Work
What we hire for, beyond a resume.
Patients first, always.
Every system, automation, and AI tool we build exists to give patients more attention from a clinician — not less.
Precision over performance.
We measure, we re-measure, and we tell the truth about what the data says — including when it surprises us.
Small on purpose.
We are a founder-led practice. We grow when adding a person clearly improves care. That is a slower hiring cadence than most clinics — and an intentional one.
AI as leverage, not replacement.
Meli, our AI assistant, is grounded in Dr. Chua's protocols. It supports clinicians and patients between visits. It does not make clinical decisions.
Have a Question First?
Ask Meli.
Meli is our AI assistant, grounded in Dr. Chua's clinical philosophy and how the practice operates. Ask about the Meliora Method, what a typical day looks like, or how we think about clinician autonomy — Meli will answer what it knows and tell you when it doesn't.
