About This Role

As a Neurohospitalist or Teleneurohospitalist at Intermountain Health, you will work with a high-performing, patient-centered team committed to providing quality care and excellent patient experience. We can accommodate a combination of telehealth shifts and in-person shifts that best fits the neurologist's needs, including full-time telehealth work.

Intermountain has a strong, well-established Teleneuroscience program. Since 2014, the Teleneurohospitalist team has provided Telestroke and inpatient neurology consults. Additionally, the tele program aligns closely with our Virtual Hospital subspecialty portfolio, which offers all types of specialty care across the system. In effect, this ensures patients can stay locally in their community with the necessary specialist care.

Telehealth shifts may be worked from our virtual hospital building located near Salt Lake City, UT, or may be worked from home. In-person shifts would be worked from Intermountain Medical Center (IMED), Intermountain Health’s flagship hospital, based near Salt Lake City, Utah.
