At UCI Health, each neurology position is carefully structured to foster clinical excellence, physician satisfaction, and sustainable practice patterns. Whether you’re drawn to the diversity of general neurology, the complexity of memory disorders, or the intensity of stroke care, each role offers a distinct but rewarding clinical journey.
Your practice as a Comprehensive Neurologist is grounded in thoughtful structure and meaningful patient care. Each day, you’ll encounter a wide range of conditions—from migraines and seizure disorders to movement and neuromuscular diseases—serving a demographically diverse patient base that reflects Orange County’s international population.
Clinic schedules are designed with intention: 60-minute new consults, 30-minute follow-ups, and an hour-long lunch to support reflection, documentation, or rest. You’ll operate in modern outpatient facilities equipped with Epic EMR and ambient listening technology to ease charting burdens. Your practice will benefit from streamlined coordination with dedicated Medical Assistants, insurance authorization personnel, and Nurse Navigators.
At UCI’s Memory Disorders Program, your clinical role centers on compassionate, detailed evaluations of patients with complex neurodegenerative diseases. You’ll work closely with a multidisciplinary team including neuropsychologists, geriatricians, and social workers to deliver precision diagnoses and longitudinal care for Alzheimer’s, Lewy Body, frontotemporal dementia, and traumatic brain injury.
Patient evaluations are deep and unrushed, designed to reflect the program’s academic mission and commitment to excellence. You’ll help manage clinical trials and engage patients in national research initiatives while teaching fellows and residents who rotate through your clinic. Language-diverse patients create opportunities to bridge cultural gaps and apply community-centered neurology.
As a Stroke Neurologist, your practice spans acute inpatient care and strategic program development. You’ll split your clinical presence between the established Comprehensive Stroke Center in Orange and the newly launched UCI Irvine Hospital, shaping stroke protocols across the system. With 600+ ED presentations and 1,600 inpatient consults per year, your hands-on expertise will remain sharp and relevant.
You’ll work 16 weeks annually of inpatient rotation, supported by a team of fellows, APPs, and residents. Your off-service weeks include structured outpatient clinic blocks and optional academic engagement (between .5–1.5 days of stroke follow-up clinic). You’ll contribute to the growth of a regional telestroke network and have input on neurointerventional and neurocritical care coordination.
