JOB SUMMARY:

Under the direction of the Regional Neurology Department head and the medical director concerned, the neurologist focuses on the nervous system in health and disease. Neurologists provide care for patients with diseases of the nervous system, including conditions affecting the brain, spinal cord, peripheral nerves, neuromuscular junction, and skeletal muscles. Patients with neurological conditions are often disabled with illnesses that affect their identity and independence.

Neurologists diagnose and manage the care of patients with diseases affecting the nervous system. They gather information from the patient’s history and physical examination in order to localize the neurological lesion. They integrate those clinical findings with the results of investigations of the nervous system, including neuroimaging studies and electrodiagnostic testing, to determine the cause of the acute or chronic neurological condition.
