About The Position

Emory University’s Department of Rehabilitation Medicine is seeking a motivated, PMR-qualified physician to lead an academic inpatient rehabilitation team caring primarily for neurologically diagnosed patients and serving a major stroke center in metro Atlanta. The Assistant Medical Director at Emory Rehabilitation Hospital will join the PM&R service and provide care for general physiatry and cancer rehabilitation patients. The role includes PMR coverage for approximately 10–15 patients on the inpatient rehabilitation unit, outpatient coverage in a general physiatry clinic two days per week, and inpatient consultations at EUH and Emory Midtown Hospital two days per week. The position also provides resident oversight for inpatient and outpatient management of physical medicine and rehabilitation patients. Most professional effort will be devoted to direct patient care, with appropriate time allocated to notes and other patient-care-related administrative duties. The faculty member is expected to devote 1%–25% of professional effort to scholarship, including activities such as manuscript authorship, research participation, abstract presentations, or professional blogs; 1%–25% to teaching, which may include lectures, small-group and bedside teaching, preceptorship, and mentorship; and 75%–100% to professional service. Initially, effort will focus on general physiatry and cancer rehabilitation services. Staffing support and equipment will be provided. Clinical services are provided five weekdays per week, with four hours per week allocated for administrative work such as completing notes, orders, and messages. Approximately two to three weeks per year will involve night and weekend call coverage at Emory Rehabilitation Hospital. Process improvement activities and committee participation may also be required as directed by the Medical Director and Chair. The position is generally performed in person at an Emory University location; remote-work days may be granted at department discretion, and Emory may change remote-work status with notice.
