We are seeking Board-Certified or Board-Eligible Neurohospitalists to join our dedicated team focused on acute stroke care. This role involves providing inpatient consultations and managing care for emergency department patients and hospitalized individuals with neurological conditions, particularly stroke. The ideal candidate will have a vascular neurology fellowship or equivalent experience and be comfortable with acute stroke protocols, including thrombolytic decision-making and endovascular thrombectomy procedures. In addition to clinical duties, neurohospitalists will have the opportunity to engage in hands-on teaching and clinical supervision of residents, medical students, fellows, and advanced practice providers. This role includes limited outpatient responsibilities through follow-up visits in the Stroke Clinic, which operates within a transitional care model supported by stroke nurse navigators and advanced practice providers.

The position also offers involvement in neurology didactic sessions, grand rounds, and a monthly Neurohospitalist Lecture Series to promote continuous medical education. Optional participation in clinical research, including STROKENET and industry-sponsored trials, quality improvement initiatives, patient experience projects, educational lectures, and professional outreach is encouraged. Faculty appointments are available through the Frank H. Netter School of Medicine at Quinnipiac University, further enhancing academic and professional development.
