Isaac Health • New York, NY

2d • $240,000 - $325,000 • Hybrid

About The Position

Isaac Health is seeking a board-certified neurologist to lead its national neurology practice. This role serves as the primary clinical leader for clinicians, supervising advanced practice providers and the neuropsychology team across all states. The Head of Neurology is responsible for the performance of the neurology team and the clinical outcomes of patients. Reporting to the Chief Medical Officer, this position will lead neurologists, geriatricians, advanced practice providers, and neuropsychology team leadership. The role involves a protected block of time for direct patient care, with the remainder dedicated to supervision, teaching, and review. As a startup, the environment is dynamic, with evolving systems and practices. Eligibility for the Interstate Medical Licensure Compact and obtaining a Letter of Qualification are required before starting, with Isaac Health covering all associated costs for licensure and renewals. Prior licensure in states like New York or California is advantageous.

Requirements

• MD or DO with an active, unrestricted license in good standing; current ABPN board certification in Neurology.
• Eligible for the Interstate Medical Licensure Compact, with a Letter of Qualification obtained before your start date.
• Deep experience with Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias, including amyloid-targeting therapies.
• Comfortable practicing comprehensive general neurology.
• Demonstrated clinical leadership: supervising advanced practice providers, mentoring clinicians, and holding a team to clinical standards.
• Experienced in telehealth delivery and remote supervision.
• An exceptional colleague: the interpersonal skill to lead a clinical team well, the professionalism expected of a senior physician, and the accountability to own results.
• Strong teaching and educational skills.
• Able to work independently and reliably.
• At home in a startup environment.

Nice To Haves

• Four or more years leading physicians and advanced practice providers.
• Current licensure in New York, California, or other non-compact states.
• UCNS certification in Behavioral Neurology and Neuropsychiatry.
• Strong foundations in practice management and an instinct for what makes operational, financial, and clinical sense at once.
• Experience in value-based care, disease management, or population health for older adults.
• Background in clinical operations, implementation, quality and safety, or high-reliability practice.
• Strong public speaking skills.
• Based in New York City. We strongly prefer a leader who can spend regular in-person time with our executive team; candidates elsewhere should expect to be with us in New York at least quarterly.

Responsibilities

• Lead the neurology clinical team, including neurologists, geriatricians, advanced practice providers, and neuropsychology team, with accountability for their performance and development.
• Serve as a collaborating and supervising physician for our neurology advanced practice providers across all states.
• Provide same-day clinical support to clinicians across the practice: debriefs, case reviews, and the decisions that shape a patient’s next step.
• Set and uphold neurology clinical standards, protocols, and scope of practice.
• Own the clinical outcomes of the neurology service line.
• Teach from one-on-one to large group settings excellently in structured and unstructured formats.
• Keep the team productive, motivated, and clear about what excellence looks like.
• Maintain a protected weekly block of direct patient care, with flexibility to provide additional coverage.
• Share a low-volume physician on-call rotation.

Benefits

• Base salary range of $240,000 to $325,000 for full-time employment.
• Stock options under our equity compensation plan, with a choice between an equity-forward and a salary-forward structure.
• Comprehensive health, dental, and vision insurance; 401(k).
• Flexible paid time off and CME reimbursement.
• All state licensure, renewals, compact, DEA, and certification fees paid by Isaac Health.
• A purpose-built, data-enabled EMR and a clinical operations team that removes administrative work from clinicians rather than adding it.
• A seat at the table for strategic decisions about how brain health care is delivered nationally.
