The Department of Neurology at Dartmouth‑Hitchcock Medical Center (DHMC), located in beautiful northern New England, is searching for a dynamic physician to become the new Section Chief of Headache Medicine. The new Section Chief will lead Headache Medicine’s clinical and research operations.
The Section Chief of Headache Medicine will lead a diverse group of physicians and advanced practice providers to provide state‑of‑the‑art patient care, to advance novel research, and to train the next generation of clinicians in headache medicine. The section has a UCNS‑accredited headache medicine fellowship program to be overseen by the Section Chief.
The Section Chief of Headache Medicine should be a skilled physician with experience overseeing a busy outpatient service, as well as be familiar with the tripartite academic mission of clinical care, education, and research.

The Section Chief of Headache Medicine is the physician member of the Section leadership team, which also includes the Practice Manager and the Nurse Manager. Together this team is responsible for the overall direction, operation, and management of the Section of Headache Medicine in accordance with its operational, educational and research missions, which are in turn aligned with the Department of Neurology, Dartmouth Health, and the Geisel School of Medicine. As a leadership team, they create a work environment of mutual respect and psychological safety, based on commitment to a shared purpose.
The Section Chief serves as a physician role model of appropriate, expert, compassionate, and high‑value clinical care, of effective teaching of learners at all levels, and of respectful and inclusive relationships with interprofessional colleagues within the Section and throughout the Organization. The Section Chief is appointed by, reports to, and serves at the discretion of the Department Chair.
This is an exciting opportunity for an experienced physician in the areas of research, clinical care, practice management, teaching, and mentoring faculty members.
