Join The Largest Pediatric Neurology Team In Arizona | Physician Assistant | Outpatient Neurology Position

Phoenix Children’s Division of Neurology is seeking a Physician Assistant with a minimum of 3 years pediatrics experience and preferred neurology experience to join our growing program.

​

The Division of Neurology at Phoenix Children’s is the largest pediatric neurology program in the state of Arizona and one of the largest in the nation. We offer comprehensive and compassionate evaluation, diagnostic, treatment and follow-up services for children and families with known or suspected neurological conditions. Our services include medical evaluations, nutrition counseling, and diagnostic and laboratory testing, imaging, and procedures.

This APP position will have responsibility for the pediatric neurology patient population. Although this position is predominately outpatient, the successful provider may have alternating responsibility for patient care in both the inpatient and outpatient setting.

• Inpatient duties include, but are not limited to, rounding with the inpatient attending to address daily care, daily EHR documentation, communication with consultants, answering questions from bedside RN’s and pharmacy, coordinating patient discharge, and pager coverage during the day.
• Outpatient duties include evaluating and treating patients in the clinic setting, managing outpatient prescriptions and secure health messages, educating patients and their families on active issues and therapeutic changes, interacting with appropriate consultants, and facilitating appropriate follow up for patients.
• Participation in focused quality or research projects is encouraged.
• Active involvement in APP student teaching through affiliated programs is one of the required core values.

Multiple opportunities exist within our program for specialty interests. We participate in multi-specialty care teams, including Neuromuscular, Headache, Movement Disorder, Neuro-Oncology, Epilepsy, Concussion, and a Ketogenic Diet program.

​

Our clinical staff includes 24 physicians, 5 Nurse Practitioners, 2 Dietitians, an Epilepsy Nurse Specialty Care Coordinator, nurses, and medical assistants. The clinical activities for the Division include approximately 1700 ambulatory visits, 157 multi-specialty inpatient consultations, and 480 inpatient subsequent visits per month in addition to internal and external EEG reads, PEMU monitoring, sleep studies, epilepsy laser surgeries, and in office procedures. The Neurology Division covers five satellite clinics (i.e., Arrowhead, Southwest Valley, Mercy Gilbert, Scottsdale, Northwest Valley), as well as the inpatient neurology services on main campus at Phoenix Children’s. In 2024, we will expand inpatient coverage to Phoenix Children’s Arrowhead to meet the needs of our growing population in the West Valley and to Phoenix Children’s Mercy Gilbert Hospital to meet the needs of our growing population in the East Valley.
