Prisma Health Medical Group-Midlands Department of Pediatrics seeks a BC/BE pediatric neurologist to provide care within our free-standing Children’s Hospital. Responsibilities include teaching as a faculty member of University of South Carolina School of Medicine at the Assistant or Associate Professor level with rank and salary commensurate with experience. Candidates with appropriate experience will be considered for Division Director.

The Pediatric Neurology division is comprised of five pediatric neurologists and two APPs. Supports include social work, keto diet, and participation in a Medical Legal Partnership to address socioeconomic determinants. While primarily teaching clinicians, the division is involved in clinical trials and providing care to a diverse patient population with a variety of neurological disorders. All subspecialists serve as consultants to inpatient services as all admissions go directly to the hospitalist or intensivist service and provide consultation and medical director supervision of our EMU. Additional support is provided by fellows in Child Psychiatry and neurology residents who rotate through the Division, which is home to a COE for Tourette`s and other movement disorders.

The Department of Pediatrics has a record of academic achievement and provides education to medical students, physician assistant students, and pediatric and family medicine residents.  Our pediatric residency has a total of 39 resident positions.
