Navigating the Clinical Component
This is a 100% neurology practice built around outpatient care, with daytime inpatient consults integrated into the clinic schedule. You will manage a general neurology panel while supporting hospital-based providers through in-person and phone consultations. The workflow is designed to give you flexibility, with consult time built into mornings, lunch, or the end of the day.
