Overview
The Department of Neurology at Columbia University Irving Medical Center seeks a full-time neurologist specialized in clinical neuroimmunology/multiple sclerosis (MS), with expertise and interest in caring for children and adults with MS and related conditions. The neurologist may be trained in adult or child neurology. Under the supervision of the MS Center's medical director and the Division Chief of Child Neurology, the neurologist will diagnose and manage neuroimmunological conditions affecting the central nervous system in children and adults. The position involves an outpatient practice focusing on neuroimmunology for both children and adults, and the lead role of the Neuroimmunology Adult and Pediatric Consult Service across NYP-Columbia and the Children’s Hospital of New York (CHONY), with support from clinical neuroimmunology fellows. An annual inpatient service time is required in either the adult inpatient setting (NYP-Columbia) or CHONY, depending on whether the neurologist is primarily trained in Adult or Child Neurology. The role includes collaboration with medical students, neurology residents, two clinical neuroimmunology fellows, and two nurse practitioners (one Family trained), extending the practice's reach.
While MS remains the primary diagnosis for many patients at the MS Center, the neuroimmunology scope includes a wide range of conditions such as neuromyelitis optica, MOG antibody disease, complications of immunotherapy, acute flaccid myelitis, acute disseminated encephalomyelitis, paraneoplastic syndromes, limbic encephalitis, NMDA antibody encephalitis, and transverse myelitis of various etiologies.
