The Michigan Medicine Department of Pediatrics (University of Michigan) is seeking a board-certified/board-eligible Pediatric Epileptologist to join the Pediatric Epilepsy group in the division of Pediatric Neurology. Major clinical responsibilities will include direct patient care, as well as EEG interpretation.

The program provides cutting edge, comprehensive epilepsy care including advanced medical and dietary therapies, scalp EEG monitoring, grids and stereo-EEG, epilepsy surgery, responsive neurostimulation, deep brain stimulation, and access to clinical and bench research.
The Pediatric EEG Laboratory opened in 2011, in conjunction with the new C.S. Mott Children's Hospital. Since then, patient volumes have increased significantly across all aspects of the Epilepsy program: continuous EEG monitoring studies continue to grow each year with current volume ~1,900/year. We have a dedicated inpatient Pediatric Epilepsy inpatient service that is staffed by Pediatric Epilepsy Nurse Practitioners and the Epilepsy faculty. We have one of the largest ketogenic diet programs in the USA with dedicated support from three full-time ketogenic dietitians. Other support staff include nurses, pharmacists, social workers, and administrative staff.
We provide continuous EEG monitoring for patients in the neonatal, pediatric, and cardiac intensive care units, in addition to consult patients on the general care pediatric services and in the the pediatric emergency department. EEG monitoring can be performed in every room of the hospital. Our large staff provides 24/7 in-house EEG technologists.
We offer outpatient clinic and EEG services at two outreach locations in Southeast Michigan, in addition to the Mott Hospital site. The Pediatric Epilepsy program was the first of its kind to develop Telemedicine services for Pediatric Epilepsy. Telemedicine capability has grown exponentially over the last year, and has excellent support form a dedicated Virtual Care team.
Our comprehensive pediatric epilepsy surgery program provides state-of-the-art evaluation and treatment for children with pharmacoresistant epilepsy.
