Section Chief of Neurocritical Care - Department of Neurology


Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center


Lebanon, NH


The Department of Neurology at Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center (DHMC), located in beautiful northern New England, is searching for a dynamic physician to become the new Section Chief of Neurocritical Care. The new Section Chief will lead Neurocritical Care's clinical and research operations.

The Section Chief of Neurocritical Care will lead a diverse group of physicians and advanced practice providers to provide state-of-the-art patient care, to advance novel research, and to train the next generation of clinicians.

The Section Chief of Neurocritical Care should be a skilled physician with experience overseeing a busy service, as well as be familiar with the tripartite academic mission of clinical care, education, and research. Certification in neurocritical care is required, as is current licensure (or ability to be licensed) in New Hampshire and Vermont. The position will be a mix of clinical, administrative, and research/education activities, which will vary based on the candidate’s background.

The Section Chief of Neurocritical Care is the physician member of the Section leadership team, which also includes the Practice Manager and the Nurse Manager. Together this team is responsible for the overall direction, operation, and management of the Section in accordance with its operational, educational and research missions, which are in turn aligned with the Department of Neurology, Dartmouth Health, and the Geisel School of Medicine. As a leadership team, they create a work environment of mutual respect and psychological safety, based on commitment to a shared purpose.

The Section Chief serves as a physician role model of appropriate, expert, compassionate, and high-value clinical care, of effective teaching of learners at all levels, and of respectful and inclusive relationships with interprofessional colleagues within the Section and throughout the Organization. The Section Chief is appointed by, reports to, and serves at the discretion of the Department Chair.

This is an exciting opportunity for an experienced physician in the areas of research, clinical care, practice management, teaching, and mentoring faculty members. We are seeking a dynamic and inclusive leader for our engaged providers and support staff as they continue to optimize the quality and efficiency of our team-based services.
