Fellowship training/special interest in vascular neurology or neurohospitalist experience is welcome but is not required.

• Competitive pay and benefits package.

MMC has 700 licensed beds and admits approximately 1,000 ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke patients per year.  The Neurohospitalist program covers all general and vascular neurology consultations at MMC as well as telestroke consultations for our nine satellite telestroke sites.  Inpatient shifts are assisted by daytime nurse practitioner coverage in addition to neurology residents, rotating residents from other services, and medical students.
