About Healthtopia Clinics
Our mission is to improve the health and wellbeing of every person, and we believe healthcare should be accessible and convenient for everyone.
Our vision is a society where healthcare is humanized, personalized, and prioritized for every individual.
Healthtopia is a unique San Diego practice combining primary care, urgent care, and integrative/naturopathic medicine. On-site imaging is offered at our Encinitas and Rancho Santa Fe locations, where this role will be based. We pair the best of traditional medicine with holistic, patient-centered care.
Our values: We are of, by, and for our community. We treat our patients like family members, not business transactions. We believe each person deserves healthcare that is personalized to their needs. We continually seek out new ways to improve outcomes for our patients. We listen, we care, and we are here for our patients, always.
About the Role
We’re hiring a part-time Limited Permit X-Ray Technician (LPXT) to join our clinical team in Encinitas and Rancho Santa Fe. You’ll perform diagnostic imaging within your California limited permit scope — Chest, Extremities, Torso-Skeletal, and Leg/Podiatric — in support of our primary care, urgent care, and sports medicine providers.
Our strongest candidates bring more than imaging. We’re a tight-knit clinical team that thrives on cross-trained staff, so medical assistant experience is a significant plus. New graduates and recently licensed LPXTs are encouraged to apply if you bring MA skills to round out your X-ray training — we’ll mentor you on the rest.

- Defer studies outside your permit scope to our full-scope CRT or provider, per California regulations
Medical Assistant support

General
- Accurately document patient encounters in the EMR
- Support scheduling, intake, and light front-office tasks as needed
- Assist with basic lab or specimen handling as needed
- Follow all HIPAA, OSHA, and infection-control standards
What We’re Looking ForRequired

- Completion of an approved limited permit X-ray training program
- Current BLS/CPR certification (or willing to obtain before start date)
- Warm, patient-first demeanor and strong communication skills
- Comfortable working with patients of all ages and backgrounds
Strongly Preferred
- Medical Assistant experience or MA certification (CMA, RMA, CCMA, or equivalent)
- Experience in urgent care, primary care, or a multi-specialty outpatient setting
- Familiarity with EMR systems and patient management software
Nice to Have
- Phlebotomy or lab experience (CPT-1 a plus)
- Bilingual (English/Spanish or other)
- Interest in integrative or whole-person care
Why Join Us
