About The Position

Wellstar’s Behavioral Health Service Line and Wellstar Medical Group are hiring a full-time Adult Neuropsychologist in Marietta/East Cobb, Georgia. The position is located about 15 minutes from Wellstar’s flagship hospital, Kennestone, in an office with multiple neuropsychologists that provides most ambulatory neuropsychological services across the Wellstar system. The role reports to the Director of Neuropsychology.

Most of the work involves outpatient neuropsychological evaluations of adults with a range of neurocognitive conditions and concerns, including Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinsonian conditions, Primary Progressive Aphasias, cerebrovascular accidents, head injuries, and epilepsy. Services also include evaluations connected to treatment, such as pre-surgical evaluations for deep brain stimulation for Parkinson’s disease and essential tremor, and initial and follow-up evaluations for monoclonal antibody treatment for Alzheimer’s disease. Epilepsy services are an anticipated area of growth.

Assessment is the primary focus, with each encounter approached through a therapeutic lens. Wellstar emphasizes collaboration and integration to develop effective patient-care pathways and service delivery. The position also contributes to multidisciplinary collaboration and training. Wellstar has an APPCN program with fellows, regular didactics, and collaborative training experiences. Research is not a job responsibility, but is welcomed as a contribution to the practice and APPCN training requirements.

Psychologists are eligible for full medical staff privileges. Board certification in Clinical Neuropsychology (ABPP-CN) is not required at hire, but the provider is expected to take steps toward certification within 24 months of hire if not already certified.
