The University of Minnesota Department of Neurology and M Health Fairview seek a Vascular Neurologist who has (or will have) completed an ACGME-accredited vascular neurology fellowship to join our dynamic, rapidly growing cerebrovascular team.

This position will join a network of specialist academic physicians, fellows, residents, and APPs, providing care at our two comprehensive stroke centers, the University of Minnesota Medical Center and M Health Fairview Southdale Hospital, in addition to emergent and longitudinal inpatient telestroke coverage at seven spoke hospitals.

Scope of Practice:
This position requires the highest level of vascular neurology expertise to care for complex patients at our two comprehensive stroke centers as part of a multidisciplinary cerebrovascular team (vascular neurology, endovascular surgical neuroradiology, open cerebrovascular neurosurgery, and neurocritical care). Our stroke program also supports a robust telemedicine network including longitudinal inpatient and emergent stroke consultation across the entire health network. Outpatient care opportunities consist of new referrals, established patients, and specialty clinics such as combined Stroke-PMR and Stroke-Cardiology clinics. In addition to clinical responsibilities, an essential component of this role is teaching our trainees (ACGME accredited fellowships in Endovascular Surgical Neuroradiology and Vascular Neurology, the Neurology Residency, stroke research fellows, and medical students). We also have a core commitment to clinical research, including our role as an NIH StrokeNet Regional Coordinating Center.

 Key Responsibilities include:

• Provide direct inpatient and outpatient care for patients with stroke and other complex cerebrovascular conditions
• Comprehensive telestroke coverage
• Participation in pivotal local, national, and international clinical trials
• Contibute to quality improvement processes including implementation of novel healthcare delivery paradigms
• Collaborate with multidisciplinary teams throughout the continuum of care
• Additional opportunities for research, teaching, and leadership may be available for qualified applicants

• The University of Minnesota is a regional coordinating center for the NIH Stroke Network with established clinical research infrastructure.  We are currently top enrollers in multiple ongoing pivotal phase-III clinical stroke trials.
• Excellent academic support for faculty including statistical support, dedicated system-wide stroke research databases, and research mentorship.
• An emphasis on education with considerable conference and didactic time dedicated to training three vascular neurology fellows annually, in addition to our residents, medical students, stroke research fellows, and stroke specialist APPs.

Expertise should be comprised of a medical degree and completion of an ACGME-accredited neurology residency and vascular neurology fellowship. A commitment to educating trainees and contributing to clinical research is essential. Prior telestroke experience is not required, but the individual should possess a strong interest in telemedicine and a desire to work collaboratively to provide for the cerebrovascular needs of patients at M Health Fairview.

 Qualified applicants must also possess the following:

• Current or eligible, unrestricted Minnesota State Medical License
• Board Certified Physician or Board Eligible Physician. If not yet certified, expectation is to acquire certification within 2 years of hire.

Position Description 
We are searching for a division chief to lead a vibrant, diverse, and internationally recognized stroke division within the department of neurology at Vanderbilt University. As a growing division, a key priority for the new leader is to bring mentorship and academic opportunities for junior faculty. In additional to excelling in clinical vascular neurology, we are interested in recruiting an individual with a national reputation in the basic neurosciences or public health research, a track record of excellence in clinical trials, or critical care expertise.
  
Division Overview 
The stroke division was founded 22 years ago by Dr. Howard Kirshner. We have twelve faculty including a pediatric stroke specialist, a neurology-trained neurointerventionalist, a basic science lab, two clinical trial specialists, and two education specialists. The inpatient services include both stroke and general neurology and operates a 23 bed Neuro-ICU, 12 bed step-down unit, and 47 bed ward (including 8 beds in an epilepsy monitoring unit). We treat 125 ischemic strokes, 30 intracerebral hemorrhages, and 10 transient ischemic attacks, including an average of 18 tPA administrations and 8 thrombectomies per month. There is an additional inpatient service at the adjacent Veterans Administration Hospital and a substantial service line via teleneurology. Vanderbilt is the hub for ten regional stroke centers and community hospitals. Approximately 50% of teleneurology calls are stroke related. Our model is to enable as many patients as possible to remain in the community hospitals and our current transfer rate is only 14%.

Research 
The division is academically very strong with substantial grant funding. Dr. Kenneth Gaines was awarded a $15.7 grant from the PCORI Board to study technology assisted integration of stroke care from the pre-hospital phase to 1-year post-stroke in an important clinical trial called the C3FIT. Dr. Eva Mistry is funded by a K23 and is the PI of the BEST study evaluating the optimal blood pressure target after mechanical thrombectomy. Dr. Matthew Schrag conducts basic science research as a K76-funded Beeson Scholar studying the interaction between cerebral small vessel disease and cognitive impairment related to Alzheimer’s disease. Dr. Lori Jordan was awarded an R01 studying pediatric stroke with a focus on sickle cell anemia. She also holds a K24 award for mentorship. The division is closely linked to the Vanderbilt Memory and Alzheimer’s Center which has a primary focus on the contribution of vascular disease to neurodegenerative disorders. This group is home to numerous R01-funded investigators and follows a large clinical cohort. Finally, our clinical team has strong participation in clinical trials.

Environment 
Vanderbilt University is ranked the 15th in the county and Vanderbilt University School of Medicine is ranked 18th. Vanderbilt University Medical Center is located in beautiful Nashville, Tennessee in the Cumberland River Valley. Nashville is a healthy and rapidly growing city of about 750,000 people with roughly 2 million living in the metropolitan area. Known as Music City, Nashville is developing a robust culinary scene complemented by creative offerings in up-and-coming neighborhoods like East Nashville and the Nations. Many faculty choose to live just south of town in Brentwood, one of the most beautiful suburban areas in the country, or the small city of Franklin with its equestrian farms and picture-perfect estates. Williamson County boasts outstanding public schools and Nashville is home to famous private schools including Harpeth Hall School, Montgomery Bell Academy, and University School of Nashville. The city lies between two large lakes and numerous city and state parks providing ample opportunities for the outdoor enthusiast.
