General Neurology

Position Summary

Build Neurology from the Ground Up

Orlando Health Sebastian River Hospital is seeking a motivated General Neurologist to establish and lead the first neurology practice in Indian River County. This is a rare ground-floor opportunity: you won't be joining an existing department; you'll be creating one.

• · Memory disorders & cognitive impairment
• · Headache & migraine
• · Multiple sclerosis (MS)

The position is structured as a standard outpatient practice — no mandatory call. Inpatient neurological coverage is currently managed by Orlando Health's teleneuro team in Orlando, so there is no on-call obligation built into this role.

· Comprehensive benefits package includes health, vision, and dental insurance, malpractice coverage, disability coverage, deferred compensation, and matching retirement savings options starting from day one.

· Generous starting bonus.

· Annual CME stipend.

· Eligible employer under the Public Student Loan Forgiveness Program.
