Our Philosophy 

At Boulder, our care model is rooted in harm reduction with a low-barrier, compassionate approach that prioritizes patient autonomy and choice. We meet people where they are, and our clinicians empower patients to reduce harm and build stability on their own terms through nonjudgmental, non-coercive, non-punitive support. We work with patients to identify their own recovery goals and support them over time through shared decision-making.

Boulder Care believes the people who manage our product and team should be representative of those who use the platform. This includes people from backgrounds that are historically underrepresented in the industry.

Living in a compact state does not automatically grant you a multi-state RN license; you must apply for it. If you are unsure of your license status, you can verify it at Nursys. 

Do you have any of the following licenses/certifications? Select all that apply. *
You're working with a patient who has been consistently engaged in buprenorphine treatment. They use cocaine or methamphetamine a few times a week to stay energized at work, and occasionally use cannabis to help with sleep. They report improvements in mood, relationships, and day-to-day functioning, and say, "This is the best I’ve felt in years. I’m finally stable." The patient has no interest in stopping these substances right now. How would you approach this situation? (Choose the responses that best reflect your clinical philosophy in this scenario.)  *
How many years of experience do you have regularly prescribing buprenorphine products for opioid use disorder in an independent capacity? (Regularly means this is a part of your daily practice, not something you do occasionally or only during training/clinical rotations.) *

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
