Director of Neurosciences and Staff Positions at Large Children's Hospital in the Heart of California

A well-established, top Children’s Hospital in California is excited to welcome a Pediatric Neurologist as Director of Neurology and Director of Neurosciences at their main campus, as well as those with interests in non-leadership roles in General Pediatric Neurology and Epilepsy.
