Pediatric Neurology Epileptologist

University of Utah • Salt Lake City, UT

91d

About The Position

The Division of Pediatric Neurology at the University of Utah School of Medicine has an opening for a Pediatric Epileptologist. The physician will provide high-level care, including attending on the Epilepsy Monitoring Unit, staffing the outpatient Complex Epilepsy Clinic, as well as providing comprehensive EEG reading services (including surgical epilepsy). Academic expectations further entail active research participation, trainee oversight (pediatric epilepsy fellowship, child neurology trainees, clinical neurophysiology fellows), as well as some component of general child neurology. Clinical duties will comprise ~85% of the individual's time commitment. Clinical activities will take place primarily at Primary Children's Hospital and at Primary Children's Eccles Outpatient Building in Salt Lake City, UT. Epilepsy fellowship training and board certification is required. In addition to clinical care, the faculty member will participate in education and scholarly activity, with opportunities in quality improvement and advocacy. The division maintains an excellent collegial relationship with our pediatric neurosurgical and neuroimaging colleagues, as well as adult epilepsy programs across the region (both at the University of Utah and through Intermountain Health). The epilepsy section is active in all aspects of epilepsy care, including ketogenic diet, surgical epilepsy, neuromodulation, and gene-related therapies. Beyond this, the division of pediatric neurology provides specialty care in a variety of pediatric and developmental neurological conditions including neuromuscular, vascular disease, movement disorders, headache and functional neuroimaging. Epilepsy remains tightly integrated within a larger, collaborative division in which nearly all pediatric neurology services within the State of Utah (as well as across much of the Intermountain West) are delivered through our group.
