About The Position

The University of Minnesota Department of Neurology and the University of Minnesota Physicians seek a Vascular Neurologist to join our dynamic, rapidly growing cerebrovascular team which supports an 8-hospital system including comprehensive stroke center, thrombectomy-capable stroke center, primary stroke center, and six acute stroke ready hospitals. This position will join an energetic, highly collaborative team of academic stroke physicians, fellows, research fellows, residents, APPs, and coordinators to provide the highest standard of care across our health system. Applicants should have the highest level of vascular neurology expertise to care for complex cerebrovascular patients as part of a multidisciplinary group consisting of vascular neurologists, neurointensivists, endovascular surgical neuroradiologists, and open cerebrovascular neurosurgeons. Our program also supports a robust telemedicine network that provides optimal care for stroke patients throughout the state. Outpatient opportunities consist of new referrals, longitudinal care of established patients, TIA clinic, and collaborative specialty clinics such as Stroke-Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation and Stroke-Cardiology. In addition to clinical care, a required component of this position is educating our trainees (stroke, neurocritical care, and endovascular surgical neuroradiology fellows, stroke research fellows, residents, and medical students). We also have a core commitment to clinical research, including our role as an NIH StrokeNet Regional Coordinating Center. In recognition of the intensity of 24-7 state-of-the-art cerebrovascular care, our stroke program primarily utilizes twelve-hour day and night shifts with minimal long call (>12 hours consecutive coverage).
