Child Neurology Society, Richmond, Virginia, United States, 23214
Overview
The Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU) Department of Neurology is recruiting an academically accomplished and strategic leader to serve as Division Chief of Child Neurology. This Division Chief position is a senior-level faculty role responsible for driving the continued growth and advancement of child neurology programs both at VCU and in surrounding communities across all missions. The Division Chief will lead clinical and research partnerships in collaboration with other institutional stakeholders and support excellence in the division’s teaching responsibilities at the undergraduate and graduate medical education levels. The Division Chief should be a nationally recognized leader in the field of child neurology. Unique clinical expertise or funding as an independent investigator is preferred. This role requires significant administrative effort to support the growing division. There are expectations to be involved in teaching medical students, residents, and fellows in the ACGME-accredited Child Neurology Residency. The academic appointment with the VCU School of Medicine will be at rank of Associate Professor or Professor and will be commensurate with experience. Division scope and clinical activity
The Division of Child Neurology is comprehensive in scope, caring for children with epilepsy, neuromuscular disorders, headache, acute brain injury, stroke, movement disorders, and developmental delay. The division includes eleven core faculty and five advanced practice providers with ongoing recruitment for one additional faculty member. The primary outpatient location is at the Children\u2019s Pavilion of the Children’s Hospital of Richmond (ChoR) in downtown Richmond. The division also offers services at CHoR’s satellite clinics. The division supports inpatient consultative, pediatric LTM reading, and pediatric EMU services in downtown Richmond. They additionally offer clinic-based EMG/NCS, pediatric neuropsychological testing, and headache procedures. Institutional context
The Department of Neurology’s vision is to provide the best patient-centered neurological care while fostering the career development, professional engagement, education, and training of our team members. The team includes 71 faculty members and advanced practice providers spanning ten divisions and the Richmond VA Medical Center, with representatives from every adult and child neurology subspecialty, plus award-winning educators, clinical and translational neuroscientists, and master clinicians. VCU Health is a 1,125-bed health system and home to one of the nation’s leading academic medical centers, comprising five health sciences schools and one college, two community hospitals, Children’s Hospital of Richmond, Massey Comprehensive Cancer Center, and MCV Physicians (an 1,900-plus-physician-faculty group practice). The flagship VCU Medical Center stands as the only academic medical center in Central Virginia. The 820-bed medical center is the region\u2019s only Level 1 Trauma Center and offers state-of-the-art care in more than 200 specialty areas including organ transplantation, head and spinal cord trauma, burn healing, and cancer treatment. The Children’s Hospital of Richmond at VCU continues to be ranked among the top children’s hospitals across the country. Most recently CHoR was included in America’s Best Children’s Hospitals 2025 by Newsweek and Statistica. In April 2023, CHoR opened the Children\u2019s Tower, home to the state’s only Level 1 pediatric trauma center, 72 all private acute and intensive care beds, an emergency department with 24/7 access to pediatric specialties, and a six-bed pediatric EMU.
