Job description

We are partnered with a confidential neurology practice in the Greater Los Angeles area on the search for a skilled and motivated Physician Assistant. Led by one of LA's most respected neurologists, this practice is known for delivering compassionate, patient-centered neurologic care to a diverse patient population.

The practice is growing - and this is an opportunity to join at a pivotal moment. The founding physician is looking for a PA who will become a trusted clinical partner, contribute meaningfully to patient care, and grow alongside the practice as it expands to additional locations over time.

This is a role for a clinician who brings strong neurological expertise, a genuine passion for patient outcomes, and the drive to be part of something bigger than a single practice.

The Mandate

The physician is looking for a Physician Assistant who is clinically sharp, deeply committed to patient care, and ready to hit the ground running in a neurology-focused environment.

He is not looking for a generalist who will need significant ramp time on neurological conditions. He is not looking for someone content to stay in a lane indefinitely.

He is seeking a neurology-fluent clinician who can work autonomously, communicate with clarity and empathy, and grow into an increasingly influential clinical role as the practice scales. Long-term, this PA will have the opportunity to be part of the physician's vision to open additional practice locations across the region.

Key Responsibilities

• Conduct comprehensive neurological evaluations, including patient history, physical and neurological exams, and diagnostic assessments
• Diagnose and manage a broad range of neurological conditions including headaches, migraines, Parkinson's disease, dementia, stroke, neuropathic pain, tremors, and brain injury
• Develop and implement individualized treatment plans in collaboration with the supervising physician
• Order and interpret diagnostic studies
• Prescribe and manage medications, monitor patient responses, and adjust treatment as needed
• Provide patient and family education on neurological conditions, treatment options, and long-term management
• Maintain accurate, thorough, and timely clinical documentation in the EHR
• Collaborate closely with the supervising physician on complex cases and contribute to ongoing quality of care initiatives
• Participate in the long-term growth of the practice, including involvement in the development of new locations

Ideal Profile

• Current PA license in the state of California and NCCPA certification in good standing
• Strong neurology background - prior experience in a neurology practice, neurology department, or related specialty is required
• Clinical proficiency across common neurological conditions including headache, movement disorders, cognitive decline, stroke, and neuropathic pain
• Comfortable working autonomously in a fast-paced outpatient setting while maintaining a high standard of care
• Exceptional bedside manner with a patient-first mindset and the ability to communicate complex diagnoses with clarity and compassion
• Detail-oriented with strong documentation habits and EHR proficiency
• Collaborative by nature - eager to learn from and work closely with a highly experienced supervising physician
• Long-term thinker with an interest in contributing to practice growth and expansion over time
