About The Position

Sutter Medical Group is seeking a Board Eligible/Board Certified memory-care specialist to join the Department of Cognitive & Behavioral Neurosciences within its Neuroscience Service Line in Roseville, California. The role is primarily suited to a neurologist with experience or training in cognitive and behavioral neurology or dementia, particularly one able to manage amyloid-targeting infusions and monitor ARIA on imaging. Applicants with relevant experience in geriatric psychiatry, neurocognitive disorders, geriatric medicine, or memory care are also welcome. This is an ambulatory practice role with no hospital call requirements. The specialist will provide comprehensive outpatient care for patients with Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias, including patients receiving monoclonal antibody infusion therapies such as lecanemab and donanemab. The physician will work within a multidisciplinary memory program alongside neuropsychology, social work, primary care, neurology, psychiatry, and geriatrics, and help develop a regional center of excellence focused on high-quality, team-based, longitudinal care. The role also includes opportunities to help recruit and mentor additional specialists as the department grows. The position offers opportunities to participate in teaching, curriculum development, and mentorship for the emerging Neurology Residency Program and other learners. Candidates interested in research may collaborate on work involving dementia, neurodegeneration, biomarkers, outcomes, health-services research, novel therapies, focused ultrasound, and blood–brain barrier modulation. The physician may also work with the Neuroscience Service Line on technology-enabled care, including cognitive screening, remote monitoring, caregiver support, and data-informed care pathways. For interested and qualified candidates, there is a pathway to future consideration for Department Chair of Cognitive & Behavioral Neurosciences, with responsibilities in program vision, faculty recruitment, and strategic development across the Neuroscience Service Line.
