[Hiring] Head of Neurology @Isaac Health

Role Description

Isaac Health is hiring a board-certified neurologist to lead its neurology practice nationally. The Head of Neurology is the clinical leader our clinicians turn to every day:

• Supervising physician for our neurology advanced practice providers and neuropsychology team in every state we serve.
• Accountable for the performance of the neurology team and the clinical outcomes of our patients.
• Reports to the Chief Medical Officer and leads the neurologists, geriatricians, and advanced practice providers, and neuropsychology team leadership directly.

The role is built around availability:

• Keep a protected block of time each week for direct patient care.
• Spend the rest supervising, teaching, reviewing, and deciding.
• Run the neurology practice on your own authority.

This role requires licensure in every state we serve. You do not need to hold those licenses today, but you must:

• Be eligible for the Interstate Medical Licensure Compact.
• Have your Letter of Qualification in hand before you start.
• Keep every license and certification in good standing for as long as you are here.

What You Will Do

• Lead the neurology clinical team, including neurologists, geriatricians, advanced practice providers, and neuropsychology team, with accountability for their performance and development.
• Serve as a collaborating and supervising physician for our neurology advanced practice providers across all states.
• Provide same-day clinical support to clinicians across the practice: debriefs, case reviews, and the decisions that shape a patient's next step.
• Set and uphold neurology clinical standards, protocols, and scope of practice.
• Own the clinical outcomes of the neurology service line.
• Teach: teach from one-on-one to large group settings excellently in structured and unstructured formats.
• Keep the team productive, motivated, and clear about what excellence looks like.
• Maintain a protected weekly block of direct patient care, with flexibility to provide additional coverage.
• Share a low-volume physician on-call rotation.

Qualifications

• MD or DO with an active, unrestricted license in good standing; current ABPN board certification in Neurology.
• Eligible for the Interstate Medical Licensure Compact, with a Letter of Qualification obtained before your start date.
• Deep experience with Alzheimer's disease and related dementias, including amyloid-targeting therapies.
• Comfortable practicing comprehensive general neurology.
• Demonstrated clinical leadership: supervising advanced practice providers, mentoring clinicians, and holding a team to clinical standards.
• Experienced in telehealth delivery and remote supervision.
• An exceptional colleague: the interpersonal skill to lead a clinical team well, the professionalism expected of a senior physician, and the accountability to own results.
• Strong teaching and educational skills.
• Able to work independently and reliably.
• At home in a startup environment.

Requirements

• Four or more years leading physicians and advanced practice providers.
• Current licensure in New York, California, or other non-compact states.
• UCNS certification in Behavioral Neurology and Neuropsychiatry.
• Strong foundations in practice management and an instinct for what makes operational, financial, and clinical sense at once.
• Experience in value-based care, disease management, or population health for older adults.
• Background in clinical operations, implementation, quality and safety, or high-reliability practice.
• Strong public speaking skills.
• Based in New York City; candidates elsewhere should expect to be with us in New York at least quarterly.

Benefits

• Base salary range of $240,000 to $325,000 for full-time employment.
• Stock options under our equity compensation plan, with a choice between an equity-forward and a salary-forward structure.
• Comprehensive health, dental, and vision insurance; 401(k).
• Flexible paid time off and CME reimbursement.
• All state licensure, renewals, compact, DEA, and certification fees paid by Isaac Health.
• A purpose-built, data-enabled EMR and a clinical operations team that removes administrative work from clinicians rather than adding it.
• A seat at the table for strategic decisions about how brain health care is delivered nationally.
• Start date: Immediate, upon completion of credentialing and licensure prerequisites.
