Job description

University Orthopedic Care is a multi-site Florida orthopedic and musculoskeletal practice with an established concussion and brain injury program. Our physicians work alongside orthopedic surgery, physiatry, neuropsychology, pain management, and vestibular and physical therapy; an integrated outpatient model built around getting patients back to work, school, and sport.

We are expanding neurology across our West Coast region and are looking for a physician who wants to build a specialty pathway, not just fill a schedule.

Locations

Regional coverage across our Gulf Coast sites, (Tampa, St. Petersburg, Sarasota, Bradenton, Fort Myers, Naples), with a designated home clinic and roughly 20-30% travel between locations on a published, predictable schedule.

The Role

• Comprehensive outpatient neurology for adult and adolescent patients: headache, concussion and post-concussive syndrome, whiplash and cervicogenic disorders, radiculopathy and neuropathy, dizziness, cognitive complaints, seizure and neuromuscular conditions.
• Serve as the neurology anchor for the region — consultative support to our surgeons, physiatrists, and APPs, and the clinical point of contact for site teams.
• Perform and interpret diagnostics within scope (EMG/NCS, EEG if credentialed); integrate imaging, vestibular/oculomotor testing, and computerized neurocognitive testing.
• Return-to-work, return-to-learn, and return-to-sport determinations.
• Build referral relationships with regional primary care, emergency and urgent care, schools, athletic programs, and employer health partners.
• Occasional deposition testimony as a treating physician regarding your own patients.

Qualifications

Required

• MD or DO with ACGME- or AOA-accredited Neurology residency
• Board certified or board eligible (ABPN or AOBNP)
• Active or eligible Florida medical license and DEA registration
• Eligible for credentialing at all assigned sites and for professional liability coverage
• Valid driver\'s license and ability to travel regionally

Preferred

• Fellowship or subspecialty interest in sports neurology, headache, brain injury medicine, neuromuscular, or clinical neurophysiology
• Concussion/mTBI experience
• EEG proficiency — or interest in credentialing with our support

What We Offer

• Base salary starting at $300,000+, commensurate with training and experience
• Total compensation potential in excess of $500,000 through monthly bonus opportunities tied to EEG performance and interpretation, supervision of neurorehabilitation and hyperbaric therapy programs, PRP and regenerative procedures, and designated interventional services
• No hospital call. No inpatient rounding. Predictable weekday outpatient hours
• Four weeks vacation plus one week CME leave and recognized holidays
• Medical, dental, vision; 401(k) with employer contribution; disability and life insurance
• Licensure, DEA, board certification, and society dues covered
• Practice-funded subspecialty training. We provide the time and the money. We have previously funded a staff physician's subspecialty certification in Brain Injury Medicine, and are prepared to support Undersea and Hyperbaric Medicine certification, advanced EEG training, or procedural credentialing for the right candidate.
