Maine Medical Partners Neurology has an immediate full-time opening for a BC/BE adult neurologist with fellowship training in Multiple Sclerosis/Neuroimmunology. The appropriate candidate would join our well-established neurology division which consists of 23 physicians, including 5 Pediatric Neurologists, and 9 Advanced Practice Providers, with on-site MRI and neurodiagnostic lab. The Neurology group has been the premiere site for neurology care in Maine since 1988. The practice works closely with our Neuroscience Institute to further develop Neuroscience Centers of Excellence in support of our multiple sclerosis, neuromuscular, stroke, epilepsy, and movement disorders programs. Research interests are supported through Maine Medical Center Research Institute.

We are a member of the Consortium of MS Centers. Our center consists of 2 MS specialists, 1 nurse practitioner, 2 specialty nurses and 2 medical assistants. We focus on providing patients with respectful, attentive care whether their diagnosis is multiple sclerosis, optic neuritis, transverse myelitis, neuromyelitis optica or any other autoimmune, inflammatory disorder of the central nervous system. In addition, we collaborate closely with the Maine Medical Center outpatient infusion center and with the New England Rehabilitation Hospital to provide comprehensive care to our patients. Our MS program includes a comprehensive/multidisciplinary clinic, and we are participating in several clinical trials. There is an on-site 1.5 T MRI, but other sites are available for imaging needs including a 3 T MRI at Maine Medical Center.
