Neurology Residency Program Director

Job Details

Christiana Care, a nationally recognized leader in healthcare, is recruiting a BE/BC Neurologist to serve as the founding Neurology Residency Program Director — a pivotal role that will shape the academic future of one of the region’s premier neurosciences programs.

This is a rare opportunity to build something from the ground up. As Christiana Care launches its inaugural ACGME-accredited Neurology Residency Program, the Program Director will lead every phase of development: designing the curriculum, securing accreditation, recruiting the inaugural resident class, and establishing the culture and infrastructure of a training program built to last. This individual will be the architect of neurology graduate medical education at Christiana Care.

The clinical home for this position is flexible. We welcome candidates with a background in vascular neurology/stroke, neurohospitalist medicine, or general or subspecialty ambulatory neurology. Clinical responsibilities will be structured to complement the academic mission, with protected administrative time consistent with ACGME requirements.

• Join a nationally recognized academic health system with exceptional neurosciences infrastructure — Delaware’s only Comprehensive Stroke Center, the state’s only epilepsy monitoring unit, a dedicated Neurointensive Care Unit, neurointerventional surgery, and an 18-physician multispecialty ambulatory practice.
• Lead a program with real institutional momentum: faculty depth, subspecialty breadth, and leadership committed to building a destination neurosciences institute.
• Competitive base salary and incentives, sign-on bonus, and PSLF eligibility.
• Generous CME allowance, 403(b) with company match, 457(b) and Defined Contribution plans, fully paid malpractice with tail coverage, and 12 weeks paid parental leave.
• Academic appointment opportunities at Jefferson, Sidney Kimmel Medical College and Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine.

• Lead all aspects of ACGME initial accreditation, including application development, self-study, site visit preparation, and ongoing compliance.
• Design, implement, and continuously improve the neurology residency curriculum across inpatient, outpatient, and subspecialty rotations.
• Oversee resident recruitment, selection, onboarding, and performance evaluation in accordance with NRMP, ERAS, and ABPN standards.
• Chair the Clinical Competency Committee and Program Evaluation Committee; oversee milestone reviews and annual program evaluation.
• Serve as mentor, advisor, and advocate for neurology residents.
• Collaborate with Neurosciences Service Line leadership, the GME office, and faculty to ensure a high‑quality, accreditation‑compliant training environment.

• MD, DO, or equivalent; BE/BC in Neurology (ABPN)
• Minimum five years as an active faculty member in an ACGME-accredited neurology residency program
• Minimum three years of GME administrative experience preferred
