Outpatient opportunities include new referrals, longitudinal care of established patients, TIA clinic, and collaborative specialty clinics such as Stroke-Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation and Stroke-Cardiology.

In addition to clinical care, a required component of this position is educating our trainees (stroke, neurocritical care, endovascular surgical radiology fellows, stroke research fellows, residents, medical students).

• A medical degree.
• Completion of an ACGME-accredited neurology residency and vascular neurology fellowship.
