What are the responsibilities and job description for the Pediatric Neuropsychologist position at NemoursCareerSite?
We are excited to announce an opening for a full-time Pediatric Neuropsychologist in our growing team in the Division of Behavioral Health at Nemours Children's Health in Wilmington, DE.
The focus of this Pediatric Neuropsychologist position is to provide neuropsychological services within our active outpatient medical specialty clinics and clinical programs. This individual will provide care for children and adolescents who present with a wide range of diagnoses, including traumatic brain injury, epilepsy, brain tumors and other cancers, concussion/mTBI, genetic/metabolic disorders, and various acquired brain disorders. The position includes collaboration with multiple medical specialties and interdisciplinary teams (e.g., Hematology/Oncology, Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, Developmental Medicine, Neurology, Neurosurgery), including coordination with other Behavioral Health providers. Both consultation and liaison, as well as team participation, are valued service models.
In addition to general outpatient services, the neuropsychologist will also evaluate patients in our acute concussion program. This multidisciplinary clinic includes specialists from Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, Neuropsychology, Psychology, and Outpatient Therapy services. Within this setting, the neuropsychologist will provide serial assessments to monitor concussion recovery, update treatment plans, and inform return to learn and return to play decisions.
While the neuropsychologist's expectations are primarily clinical, we welcome applicants who may also have a secondary interest in clinical research. There are many opportunities in the hospital to support clinical research, including research mentorship and grant application support. Finally, we have a robust training program, and the neuropsychologist will have opportunities to train neuropsychology fellows, pediatric psychology residents, and neuropsychology externs.
