Description

Two options:

1) Working primarily in the office, M-F, seeing and managing mainly new patients with mostly non-operative spine issues.  On occasion you may see follow-up patients from the ER with non-operative head injuries or spine fractures.  You would be initially working closely with the neurosurgeons to assess patients and determine what other work-up would need to be done, and to see if certain cases would be potentially surgical.  Eventually the expectation would be for you to be mostly independent and seeing new and follow-up patients on your own schedule.  You would occasionally also be a resource for our clinic nurses if prescriptions were needed or if other higher level care assessments were needed.  

2) Working primarily with one neurosurgeon, assisting in clinic and in the operating room as well as rounding on inpatients.  You would be expected to take call with the neurosurgeon, fielding calls from the floor and from patients after-hours as well as possibly assisting with surgery.  This is a full time job M-F with some weeknight and weekend work based on the call schedule.
