About The Position

Neurology Physician Assistant Patients with stroke, seizure, headache, and neurodegenerative disease need a clinician who can move from first assessment to a clear plan without losing the person in the diagnosis. You will extend a neurology team's reach, shorten time to treatment, and make complex care understandable for patients and families. Success shows up in safer transitions, fewer missed follow-ups, and decisions that hold in clinic and on consult.

Requirements

Graduate of an accredited physician assistant program, current NCCPA certification, and an active state license or eligibility before start.
At least two years in neurology, hospital medicine, or closely related care, with ownership of history, exam, and plan.
Proven skill with a focused neurologic exam and clear judgment on when imaging or admission cannot wait.
Working command of common neurologic medications, required monitoring, and when to escalate.
Clear communication with patients who have cognitive or language barriers and with consulting teams.
Electronic-record proficiency that supports quality measures and accurate coding.

Nice To Haves

Room to deepen a subspecialty interest once core performance is established.

Responsibilities

Complete timely neurologic evaluations for new and return patients, producing a working diagnosis and plan the collaborating physician can act on the same day.
Manage a defined panel of headache, epilepsy, stroke, movement, and neuromuscular follow-ups so medication changes, monitoring, and referrals stay on schedule.
Cut avoidable delays by ordering indicated studies within protocol and escalating red-flag findings before the next handoff.
Lead visit and discharge education so patients leave knowing warning signs, medications, and the next appointment, reducing preventable returns and no-shows.
Close documentation the same day to quality and coding standards, leaving a record another clinician can trust.
Coordinate nursing, therapy, pharmacy, and primary care so the plan survives the handoff, not only the visit.
Deliver one measurable improvement each year in throughput, education, or protocol adherence, using clinic data rather than anecdote.
