Willis-Knighton is adding a general neurologist to an established and growing outpatient neurology clinic. The group currently turns away approximately 100 referrals per week due to capacity constraints, and several high-demand subspecialty areas remain underserved. This is a new position designed to expand access, not replace a departing physician.
| Setting | Outpatient neurology clinic, newer medical office building |
| Schedule | Outpatient clinic based; no physician call |
| Call Coverage | Neurohospitalist program handles all inpatient and after-hours; Touchstone Triage manages after-hours phone calls |
| Compensation Model | RVU-based |
| Target | MGMA 60th to 65th percentile |
| EMR | Meditech Expanse |
| Position Type | New position |
The WK neurology group is seeing more referral demand than it can absorb. Around 100 referral requests are declined each week, and the largest unmet needs are in memory care, movement disorders (particularly Parkinson's disease), and neuromuscular conditions. LSU Health is the only nearby alternative, and patients in the region actively prefer WK for specialty care.
The group is specifically looking for a physician with a defined subspecialty interest in one of these areas who can build a focused practice within the broader general neurology context.
The neurohospitalist program at WK handles all inpatient neurology coverage and after-hours cases. Touchstone Triage manages after-hours phone calls. The incoming neurologist will not be expected to take inpatient call or cover emergent cases overnight. This structure is in place and well established.
The group encourages physicians to develop a clinical niche. Three areas currently have the greatest unmet demand:
The incoming physician would build referral volume in their area of focus while maintaining a general outpatient panel. Physicians with interest in one of these areas will find immediate demand from day one.
