Position Description
The Department of Neurosciences at the University of California San Diego (UCSD) is committed to academic excellence within the faculty, staff, and student body. We are seeking neurologists with a focus in inpatient neurology and an interest in advancing the delivery of neurological care and consultation (neurohospitalist).

The current positions are for the delivery of general inpatient neurological care and consultation at the Jacobs Medical Center, as well as the intermittent staffing of a discharge clinic to assist with clinical transitions from the inpatient and emergency department settings to ambulatory care.
The selected candidates will play a key role in teaching residents and medical students within the inpatient setting and will collaborate with the Department and institution to enhance clinical quality metrics, including:
- Emergency department consultation response times

- Constructive and service-oriented neurological consultation for partner services
- Skillful delivery of inpatient and transitional care for patients on the general, non-stroke neurology service
