Pediatric Neurologist, Berkeley Medical Center
About the role
The West Virginia University Health System is the state’s largest health system and largest private employer, comprising 18 hospitals throughout the state and bordering states, five institutes, and management services for other local hospitals through affiliate agreements. Whether you are caring for patients at a critical access hospital, community site, regional or academic medical center, you are part of one WVU Health System.
WVU Medicine is seeking a Pediatric Neurologist to join the growing neurosciences program at Berkeley Medical Center in Martinsburg, West Virginia. This position offers an opportunity to expand access to pediatric neurological care for children and families throughout the Eastern Panhandle and surrounding regions while contributing to the continued development of pediatric neuroscience services within WVU Medicine. The successful candidate will provide comprehensive evaluation, diagnosis, treatment, and longitudinal management of children and adolescents with a broad range of neurological conditions, focusing primarily on outpatient pediatric neurology while also providing inpatient neurological consultation and supporting collaboration across the regional healthcare system.
The role is a 1.0 FTE Pediatric Neurology physician position designed to support both direct patient care and program development, with an anticipated allocation of approximately 0.85 FTE clinical (≈70% outpatient pediatric neurology, ≈15% inpatient pediatric neurology consultation) and 0.15 FTE non‑clinical (program development, quality improvement, clinical pathway development, education and academic activities, administrative and strategic initiatives supporting pediatric neuroscience growth). The clinical distribution may evolve as pediatric neurology services and patient volumes continue to grow.
The Pediatric Neurologist will have the opportunity to play a meaningful role in developing pediatric neurological services within the Eastern Panhandle, working collaboratively with regional and system leadership to improve pediatric specialty access, strengthen referral pathways, and develop a sustainable regional model for pediatric neurological care. This combines clinical practice with program development, physician leadership, quality improvement, and academic engagement within an expanding neuroscience service line.
Opportunity highlights include joining a growing WVU Medicine neuroscience program, developing and expanding pediatric neurology services in the Eastern Panhandle, primarily outpatient clinical practice, and the opportunity to shape pediatric neurology referral pathways and program development.
Berkeley Medical Center serves as a major regional healthcare resource for the Eastern Panhandle of West Virginia and surrounding communities. The continued expansion of neuroscience services is designed to provide patients with greater access to specialized neurological care closer to home while connecting regional services with the broader expertise and resources available throughout WVU Medicine. The Pediatric Neurology position will support this strategy by expanding specialty access for children and families and strengthening the continuum of neurological care across the region.
