The University of South Florida Morsani College of Medicine seeks an Associate or Assistant professor level Neurocritical Care faculty to serve at our primary teaching affiliate, Tampa General Hospital (TGH). Successful candidates will hold a M.D., M.D. Ph.D., or D.O. and be board-certified or board-eligible in neurocritical care (or the equivalent). Candidates with dedicated Neurocritical Care fellowship training are preferred.
The intensivist-led NeuroICU is a high-performing team comprised of eight physicians and 16 APPs. Collectively, with the hospital-based nursing staff, we cover 32 beds within the unit plus emergency consults as needed. As an academic medical institute, faculty are expected to participate in scholarly activities such as clinical trials, teaching medical students/trainees, publishing their research, and presenting at national conferences. Mentorship is offered so that Faculty have an opportunity to grow as leaders. Some pursue administrative roles while others focus on advancing the field through quality initiatives or improved treatment plans.
Primary appointments for NCC physicians are in the USF Department of Neurosurgery with secondary appointments in Neurology. Neurosurgery boasts one of the largest such departments in the Southeast region comprised of academic neurosurgeons, neuro-interventionalists, neuropsychologists, NIH-funded researchers and others who cover the full spectrum of advanced neurosurgical services.
