Description

The Brain and Body Program in Chapel Hill is looking to hire a Per Diem Specialty Advanced Practice Provider to join our team. 

The Brain and Body Program at UNC provides a comprehensive physical and behavioral health assessment to athletes recently retired from their professional football career, and is a benefit offered to them every 5 years thereafter. 

This opening is to support, on a per diem basis, our current program Neurologist who is out of office from time to time. The per diem specialty APP will be part of an interdisciplinary care team consisting of Family medicine, Sports Medicine, Psychiatry, Psychology, Vestibular and Speech Therapy, Audiology, Nutrition, and Imaging. The program is administered over three days and the player patient leaves us with a plan of care and a nurse case manager to connect them to services within their home geography. 

Program Hours: currently Neurology holds a Thursday afternoon (1-5p) schedule and this has some potential to shift to a different day if needed. 

Job Qualifications: 

• Completion of an accredited graduate-level Advanced Practice Provider (APRN or PA) program
• NC State License, DEA License, BLS/ACLS certification preferred 
• Board Certification - Neurology
• Previous experience required 

High-quality health care begins with high-caliber people. Our steadfast commitment to the health of our community begins within. If you seek an environment that promotes excellence, leadership, and autonomy in clinical practice, then a career with UNCPN may be for you. Physician practices affiliated with UNCPN are offering opportunities for employment.
