Large Health System near D.C. with Academic Ties Seeks a Brain Health Leader

A large healthcare system, with hospitals and clinics throughout the Northern Virginia region, is seeking a  leader for their newly funded Brain Health Center to join its thriving neurosciences department.

Brain Health Leader Opportunity:

The goal is to provide enhanced care for brain wellness, similarly to the focus on heart care. The Center plans to see three primary types of patients – those recovering from strokes and brain tumors as well as managing patients with Parkinson’s or Alzheimer’s; those who are getting older and want to take preventative measures and through a brain physical and consequential care plan (change diet, manage stress, design sleep program, etc.); and lastly, those who are in high-powered positions (executives, students, etc.) who want to maintain and enhance brain performance.

The successful candidate will enjoy an academic appointment and teaching opportunities with rotating medical students, internal medicine residents and family medicine residents. Their Neuroscience Research Program offers clinical, translational and basic science research opportunities.
