Who Are We?
We operate 3 clinics, 2 in Oakland, 1 in Sacramento and collectively complete over 20,000 treatments a year.
We have a proven track record having been in operation for over 15 years.
We have a very low tolerance for shenanigans, but enthusiastically support diligent work with as many benefits as we can possibly afford.
We provide an opportunity to see many diverse patients while working in a fun and supportive environment.
While we value experienced punks, we are happy to train new practitioners.
We do not emphasize any specific style or method beyond doing what you think is really awesome acupuncture, but not making a big deal about it.
We expect our punks, after training and shadowing, to navigate our online scheduling, online chart noting, and invisible receptionist.
For a whole lot more information about how we work and who we are, check out our POCAfest talk on POCA TV: https://www.pocacoop.com/pocatv/post/the-oakland-acupuncture-project-story

After training and shadowing we have you substitute 1-2 shifts. We will evaluate your performance to determine if you would be a good fit for SAP. This evaluation is based on many factors such as patient feedback and adequately fulfilling the responsibilities outlined above.
