**Salary:** USD 120,000–170,000

**Workplace:** on_site

## Description

### **Nurse Practitioner (Neurology - Movement Disorder)** 

### **Overview & Highlights**

**Location:** Ahwatukee, AZ

**Schedule:** Monday – Friday, 8:00 AM – 5:00 PM

**Compensation:** $120,000 – $170,000 annually

**Work Environment:** Outpatient neurology clinic serving adult patients with movement disorders

**Coverage Model or Hours:** Structured clinic schedule with protected visit times

### **About the Opportunity / A Day in the Life**

This is a focused outpatient neurology role centered on caring for patients with movement disorders such as Parkinson’s disease, tremor, dystonia, and related conditions. You’ll manage a consistent daily patient panel of approximately 12 patients, allowing for thoughtful, in-depth clinical care without the pressure of high-volume throughput.

Your day will include a mix of new patient evaluations and follow-up visits, with time built in to thoroughly assess symptoms, adjust treatment plans, and provide education to patients and families. You’ll work closely with a neurology team while maintaining a high level of autonomy in patient management.

This setting offers a steady, predictable workflow with a strong emphasis on continuity of care. You’ll have the opportunity to build long-term relationships with patients while contributing to meaningful improvements in quality of life for a complex and often underserved patient population.

### **Why This Role Stands Out**

-   Structured patient volume with longer visit times—prioritizes quality over quantity
-   Specialized focus in movement disorders with meaningful clinical impact
-   Outpatient-only setting with a predictable weekday schedule
-   Strong continuity of care and opportunity to build lasting patient relationships
-   Collaborative neurology environment with provider autonomy
-   No travel requirements and stable, on-site workflow

### **What We’re Looking For**

-   Board-certified **Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP) or Adult-Gerontology Acute Care Nurse Practitioner (ACNP)**
-   Clinical confidence managing adult patients in an outpatient setting
-   Interest or experience in neurology or movement disorders
-   Strong communication skills and patient-centered approach
-   Ability to work independently within a collaborative team

### **Job Duties & Responsibilities**

-   Conduct comprehensive neurologic evaluations for new and established patients
-   Diagnose and manage movement disorders including Parkinson’s disease and tremor
-   Develop and adjust individualized treatment plans
-   Manage medications, including titration and monitoring for side effects
-   Provide patient and caregiver education on disease progression and management
-   Coordinate care with neurologists and interdisciplinary team members
-   Document patient encounters accurately and efficiently
-   Monitor patient outcomes and adjust care plans as needed
-   Participate in clinic workflow optimization and care coordination
-   Ensure adherence to clinical protocols and quality standards

### **Required Qualifications**

-   Licensed **Nurse Practitioner (FNP or ACNP)** in Arizona (or ability to obtain)
-   Board certification as an FNP or ACNP
-   DEA license (or ability to obtain)
-   Experience in neurology, primary care, or a related clinical setting

### **Preferred Background**

-   Experience in neurology or movement disorders
-   Prior outpatient clinic experience
-   Familiarity with chronic disease management and longitudinal care models
-   Comfort with patient education in complex neurologic conditions

### **This Role Is Likely a Fit If You…**

-   Enjoy building long-term relationships with patients
-   Prefer a structured, predictable outpatient schedule
-   Value spending more time per patient for thorough care
-   Have an interest in neurology or subspecialty care
-   Thrive in a collaborative but autonomous clinical environment

### **This Role May Not Be a Fit If You…**

-   Prefer high-acuity inpatient or hospital-based care
-   Want a fast-paced, high-volume clinical setting
-   Are seeking procedural-heavy responsibilities
-   Prefer variable scheduling or shift-based work
-   Are not interested in chronic disease management or follow-up care
