Henry Ford Health’s Department of Neurology, located in southeastern Michigan, is seeking board-eligible/certified Neurologists with experience in inpatient neurology and/or fellowship training in neurocritical care or vascular neurology for contingent positions. The department includes 7 vascular neurologists, six neurointensivists, five endovascular neurointerventionalists and four neurohospitalists (three of which are also vascular neurology trained). Further support is derived by the department of neurology at large, neurosurgery, emergency medicine, internal medicine, and neuroradiology.
The clinical expectation is for coverage of neurology consultation rounds at either HF Macomb or HF West Bloomfield hospitals, depending on assignment for that day. The teams include APP support at both locations. The coverage is on a shift basis from 7 AM to 6 PM however stroke call/acute stroke activations are managed by the vascular neurologist on call via telephone for the initial acute recommendations such as IV thrombolysis or mechanical thrombectomy. The physician will lead and manage the inpatient neurology service, on a consultation basis. This involves the evaluation of and diagnoses of acute neurological emergencies such as stroke, status epilepticus, neuromuscular pathologies, demyelinating disease, encephalopathy, and the wide range of neurological manifestations of systemic disease. The team is supported by the epilepsy division for routine and long-term EEG monitoring and reading.
With approximately 65 neurologists, including subspecialists in MS, stroke, epilepsy, neuromuscular, pediatrics, critical care, headache, movement disorders, and behavioral neurology, Henry Ford’s Department of Neurology supports one of the largest and most established health care systems in the United States.
