Job Summary

Geisinger Neuroscience Institute is seeking a movement disorders neurologist to join the Geisinger Wyoming Valley Medical Center team in Wilkes Barre, Pennsylvania.

Job Duties

This position is based in Wilkes-Barre but supported by a system wide care team consisting of another fellowship-trained movement disorders neurologist, two functional neurosurgeons, and a dedicated and experienced nurse navigator. This will be an out-patient position with no hospital coverage or nighttime call required.

The ideal candidate will be a graduate from a movement disorders fellowship program with strong clinical skills, interest in teaching the next generation of providers, and experience with botulinum toxin for dystonia and managing deep brain stimulation.

Medical students from Geisinger Commonwealth School of Medicine rotate through the service, and there is a new neurology residency program based at GWV, with ample opportunities for teaching. Faculty appointments and more formal roles in education are available for qualified candidates.
