Description

About Vital Coeur Health
Vital Coeur Health is a physician-led concierge wellness practice serving high-performing women 30+. Founded by an interventional radiologist, the practice delivers integrative care across four pillars: physician annual care, nutrition coaching, mobility and physical therapy, and fitness and strength conditioning. Our model is built on clinical rigor, individualized programming, and outcomes-focused care — not generic wellness plans.

We are building a founding team of licensed, credentialed clinicians and health professionals who share our commitment to evidence-based practice and exceptional patient experience.

The Role
We are seeking a Colorado-licensed Athletic Trainer (LAT) to lead the Fitness & Strength pillar of the Vital Coeur Method, designing and delivering individualized movement and conditioning programs for our patient population. A candidate who also holds a nationally recognized strength and conditioning certification is ideal — CSCS (Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist) or equivalent. 

This is a contractor engagement structured with physician oversight consistent with the Colorado Athletic Trainer Practice Act. The supervising physician of record is actively involved in patient care and clinical oversight. The right candidate is entrepreneurial, clinically sharp, and motivated by working in a high-touch, concierge model where your impact on patient outcomes is direct and measurable.

Key Responsibilities
      Develop individualized strength, conditioning, and functional movement programs for patients in coordination with the supervising physician and care team

      Conduct initial movement assessments and ongoing progress evaluations; document findings in the practice EMR (Healthie)

      Collaborate with the nutrition coach, mobility/PT specialist, and physician to deliver integrated, pillar-aligned care plans

      Educate patients on injury prevention, recovery protocols, progressive loading principles, and strength-based wellness

      Adapt programming for patients on hormone therapy, GLP-1 therapy, or physician-supervised weight management protocols, in coordination with the medical team

      Maintain accurate, timely session notes and progress documentation in compliance with practice policies and HIPAA standards

      Participate in case reviews and care coordination meetings as scheduled

      Represent Vital Coeur Health's clinical standards and brand values in all patient interactions

Vital Coeur Health Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Statement

At Vital Coeur Health, we believe every woman deserves care that takes her seriously — her biology, her goals, and her full identity. We serve women across a wide spectrum of backgrounds, races, ethnicities, sexual orientations, gender identities, and lived experiences, and we are committed to a practice where all patients feel genuinely seen and respected. Our care is individualized by design, because we know that no two women's health journeys are the same — and that factors conventional medicine has long overlooked directly shape outcomes. That same commitment extends to our team: we recruit, compensate, and support our clinical collaborators without regard to race, ethnicity, national origin, gender identity, sexual orientation, disability, religion, or age. Equity at Vital Coeur Health is not a statement — it is practice.

How to Apply
Interested candidates should submit the following:

      Current CV or resume

      Copies of active Colorado LAT license and any current strength/conditioning certifications

      A brief statement (250 words or fewer) describing your experience with clinical or physician-directed populations and your approach to individualized programming
