director, the neurologist will be responsible for the diagnosis and management of neuroimmunological conditions affecting the central nervous system in adults and adolescents. In Neuroimmunology, working within a team that includes three adult neurologists that have completed specialty training in this domain, the new neurologist will have a primarily outpatient practice of adults with neuroimmunological
disorders. In addition, the neurologist will lead the Neuroimmunology Consult Service, which will provide consult services in neuroimmunology across NYP-Columbia with support from the clinical neuroimmunology fellows. The position includes working with medical students, neurology residents, the two clinical neuroimmunology fellows, and two nurse practitioners that extend the practice’s efforts. While MS remains
