Physician - Neuropsychologist

Ochsner Health – Neuropsychology

The Ochsner Neuroscience Institute is actively seeking a NEUROPSYCHOLOGIST to join the Department of Neurology at the Ochsner Covington campus. The Neuropsychologist will provide consultations and evaluations, and work closely with Neurologists, Neurosurgeons, and Allied Health Professionals to offer a comprehensive service for each patient.  The staff Neuropsychologist will join a growing service within the Neuroscience Institute that currently includes 7 Neuropsychologists, 7 Psychometrists, an Administrative Assistant, and 2 Neuropsychology Fellows. Each Neuropsychologist is paired with a Psychometrist. Our Dementia Care Management Team is also embedded in our service, which includes Care Navigators, Social Work, and Social Work Students.

Opportunities are available for split time at other Ochsner campuses as well as remote work with the use of virtual visits. Remote/virtual work can create opportunities to serve patients in other regions of Louisiana while eliminating extensive travel for the Neuropsychologist.

Onboarding staff are also welcomed to conduct individual/group psychotherapy and/or establish new clinical research if interested.  Louisiana license or license eligibility is required.  Individuals completing fellowship are welcome to apply.

Evaluations will be conducted on a primarily outpatient basis with opportunities available for inpatient assessments.
