Description:

The Department of Neurology and the Center for Sport at Tulane University School of Medicine in New Orleans are seeking a board certified, or board eligible neurologist trained to assess and treat mild to moderate traumatic brain injuries (TBI). Academic rank at Tulane University School of Medicine will be commensurate with experience. Primary appointment will be in the Department of Neurology.

The physician will work with athletes at all levels, former professional and collegiate athletes, as well as military veterans with mild to moderate TBI and associated co-morbidities. The physician will primarily work in the Tulane University Center for Sport and Center for Brain Health clinical programs, with some capacity in other Tulane University Medical Group neurology outpatient clinics. The ideal candidate will have experience caring for individuals dealing with neuro-trauma, and other vestibular challenges resulting from spinal cord or brain injury.

The Tulane Center for Sport provides comprehensive clinical care to former military personnel and former professional athletes via the Tulane University Center for Brain Health (TUCBH) and the Professional Athlete Care Team (PACT) Clinic.

The Tulane University Center for Brain Health (TUCBH) is a clinical care and research center for Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI), Physiological conditions, and Behavioral Health (BH) conditions such as post-traumatic stress (PTS), depression and anxiety. The primary focus of the TUCBH is to care for former military personnel who have separated from active duty. 

The Professional Athlete Care Team (PACT) is a unique care model specifically designed to meet needs of former professional athletes. The PACT Clinic provides athletes with facilitated access to comprehensive evaluation and treatment plans.

The Tulane University Center for Sport is devoted to studying, supporting, and achieving in all areas where sport engages people - on the field of play, in human health and professional careers, and in our community. Our mission is to (1) educate current and future professionals in all areas of the sports industry, (2) improve the overall health of athletes and veterans by advancing cutting-edge research and health services, and (3) inspire social change by promoting the powerful impact of sports and the role of athletes in communities. 

Tulane University School of Medicine is nationally recognized for providing high-quality care and for teaching and research. New Orleans provides excellent school systems and abundant outdoor and cultural activities in a world class area with convenient access to the beautiful Gulf Coast. The North Shore of Lake Ponchartrain (including Covington, LA) similarly provides access to water sports, wildlife, and postcard-perfect communities with beautiful homes, excellent schools, and abundant shops and restaurants.
