Multiple Sclerosis Nurse Educator Jobs (NOW HIRING)

Duration of Fellowship:

• Clinician track: 1 year
• Clinician-scientist track: 3 years

Our organization hosts a comprehensive Multiple Sclerosis Center, recognized by the National Multiple Sclerosis Society (NMSS) and actively participating in the Consortium of MS Centers. We provide extensive, multidisciplinary care for a diverse patient population experiencing various clinical neuroimmunology conditions.

The MS Center is staffed by eight MS clinicians (MD, DO, PA-C, NP), three clinician-scientists, and two psychiatrists, supported by a dedicated team of nurses, clinical personnel, and research staff. Located within the UPMC Magee-Women's Hospital, the center features an outpatient clinic and a 10-bed infusion unit. Patients have the opportunity to engage in clinical trials and a long-term prospective cohort study aimed at advancing precision medicine in MS.

Each fellow will collaborate with faculty to create a tailored training program that encompasses MS and clinical neuroimmunology patient care, exposure to multidisciplinary approaches, didactic sessions, and opportunities for teaching and research.

The primary clinical setting for the fellowship is the outpatient clinic at the Multiple Sclerosis Center. In addition to this, fellows will occasionally provide consultations for complex neuroimmunology cases in the inpatient environment. There is no expectation for fellows to be on call during evenings or weekends.

Additional clinical experiences will include:

• Neurorehabilitation
• Physical medicine and rehabilitation
• Neuropsychiatry
• Neuro-urology
• Neuro-gastroenterology
• Neuro-rheumatology
• Pediatric neuroimmunology
• Neuro-ophthalmology
• Neuro-otology
• Women's neurology
• Multidisciplinary autoimmune encephalitis clinic

Fellows in the clinician-scientist track are expected to engage in research under faculty guidance in one of three areas:

• Clinical Research: Involves clinical trials, epidemiology, and observational studies.
• Translational Research: Focuses on biomarkers, genetic studies, or pilot studies for innovative diagnostic or treatment methods.
• Data Research: Includes neuroimaging studies and the application of biostatistics, machine learning, and other computational techniques to clinical and translational research data.

Scheduled educational activities include:

• Biweekly neuroimmunology/neuroradiology case conferences
• Monthly combined adult and pediatric neuroimmunology conferences
• Monthly journal clubs
• Weekly case discussions
• Additional educational initiatives within the MS Center

Fellows will have the chance to present at a national or international conference related to MS or neuroimmunology (e.g., ACTRIMS Forum, ECTRIMS, or CMSC) and will also have opportunities to teach residents and medical students.

For application details, please refer to the SF Match website. Applications should be submitted during the third year of residency, with a start date of July 1 in the fifth year for adult neurology residents.

Applicants must have successfully completed an accredited adult neurology residency program (or its equivalent) in the United States or Canada. They should have applied for and received an unrestricted medical license in Pennsylvania and completed the necessary credentialing before the fellowship begins. Please note that we do not currently sponsor visas.
