Legacy Medical Group Neurology is seeking an outpatient (clinic-based) Epilepsy Program Director to lead our growing epilepsy services. Candidates must have fellowship training in Epilepsy and a minimum of five years of post-graduate experience in outpatient epilepsy management and EEG interpretation. Ideal candidates will have prior involvement in an epilepsy surgery program and the skills to partner effectively with our functional neurosurgeon and lead a team to evaluate patients for surgery and achieve NAEC epilepsy center certification.
Legacy Neurology operates four clinic locations across the Portland–Vancouver metropolitan area, all located in Portland or within 20 minutes of downtown. This position is based at Legacy Good Samaritan Medical Center in Northwest Portland, where the Epilepsy Program Director will provide outpatient consultation and longitudinal care for patients with epilepsy and other neurological conditions.
The new physician will join a collaborative team of 9 outpatient neurologists (including one epileptologist), 4 clinic-based APPs, and 10 neurohospitalists. Our department offers robust subspecialty programs in autoimmune neurology/MS, epilepsy, headache, movement disorders, neuromuscular medicine, neuro-ophthalmology, and vascular neurology. The epilepsy program includes a 4-bed EMU and a comprehensive epilepsy surgery service.
Although some general neurology practice is expected initially, there is significant opportunity to grow an epilepsy-focused subspecialty practice. Core responsibilities include outpatient clinic, EMU service, and EEG interpretation. There is no emergency department call. Opportunities for research, teaching, and leadership involvement are also available within Legacy Health.
