Child Neurologist

Build the career—and life—you want in the Blue Ridge Mountains at Carilion Clinic Children’s Hospital, affiliated with Virginia Tech Carilion School of Medicine in Roanoke, Virginia. J-1 Visa sponsorship available.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

Imagine practicing pediatric neurology in a setting where collaboration is real, your voice matters, and work-life balance is more than a recruiting phrase. At Carilion Children’s Hospital, you’ll join a highly respected pediatric subspecialty team committed to exceptional patient care, academic growth, and physician well-being. This opportunity allows you to shape a meaningful career while living in one of the most scenic and livable regions in the country. Whether you are an experienced child neurologist or a graduating fellow, you’ll find:

• A collegial, supportive team environment
• A manageable and primarily consultative call structure
• Strong pediatric specialty and surgical support
• Academic affiliation with Virginia Tech Carilion School of Medicine
• The ability to build your ideal mix of clinical and academic interests
• A community where you can truly enjoy life outside the hospital

What Your Practice Will Look Like

You’ll enjoy a predominantly outpatient-focused practice with inpatient consultative support in a well-resourced children’s hospital. Your role includes:

• Outpatient pediatric neurology clinics
• Inpatient consultative services
• Shared call with primarily remote evening/weekend consultative coverage
• Opportunities to teach medical students and residents
• Participation in multidisciplinary pediatric care teams

You’ll be supported by:

• Pediatric hospitalists and intensivists managing primary inpatient care
• Dedicated inpatient EEG technicians
• On-site EEG and video EEG monitoring
• Pediatric neurosurgery collaboration
• Strong ancillary and pediatric specialty support

You’ll serve a large and growing pediatric population of more than 300,000 children across western Virginia.
