About The Position

The Department of Neurology at The University of Kansas Health System and University of Kansas Medical Center is seeking a full-time General/Headache Neurologist dedicated to telehealth care delivery to expand access to specialty care across rural Kansas. This position is part of an innovative, grant-supported initiative to build a statewide “virtual campus” model, delivering coordinated, high-quality neurological care to underserved populations. The neurologist will primarily provide telehealth consultations in partnership with rural primary care providers, helping address critical gaps in access—particularly in regions of Kansas that currently have no practicing neurologists. This is a 1.0 FTE telehealth-focused position (with limited in-person responsibilities to maintain clinical integration). This role actively contributes to the education and training of learners, including medical students, residents, fellows, or other trainees and participates in departmental and divisional academic activities.
