Job Details

Cleveland Clinic Neurological Institute announces a search for a Program Leader for its FTD/ALS Program in Las Vegas, Nevada. Ideal candidates will be board certified behavioral or neuromuscular neurologists with advanced training and experience in the diagnosis and management of frontotemporal dementia or ALS. This individual will join the staff of Cleveland Clinic Lou Ruvo Center for Brain Health in Las Vegas, Nevada and will play a major role inaugurating an FTD/ALS program.

Cleveland Clinic Lou Ruvo Center for Brain Health has locations in Las Vegas, Nevada, Cleveland, Ohio and Weston, Florida, which are under the direction of Marwan Sabbagh, MD, a leading Alzheimer trialist.

At the Center, our treatment programs are designed to provide excellent care and to respect the dignity of patients and their families. The incumbent will have access to onsite rehabilitation services, infusion therapy facilities, and advanced imaging capabilities as well as an opportunity to play a key role in shaping and leading a new ALS/FTD program.

While many Las Vegas newcomers are awed by the nightlife and world of entertainment options, they are even more delighted with the myriad of housing options available citywide. Whether you are looking for rural seclusion, a lush, private master-planned community or high-rise living on the Las Vegas Strip, you will find the options endless. Clark County contains Las Vegas, Henderson and North Las Vegas the three biggest cities in Southern Nevada. Clark County's population based on the most recent U.S. Census figures indicates we have reached nearly two million residents. Las Vegas is known as the entertainment capital of the world and over the last couple of decades has garnered accolades for its fast-growing population, entrepreneurial atmosphere, unlimited housing and vast employment options. Las Vegas continues to expand its non-gaming industry base and is becoming a notable education and research community. Henderson has been consistently measured as one of the fastest growing communities in the nation. Las Vegas' little sister, Henderson has a population of just over 250,000. Just south of Las Vegas, Henderson is a vibrant suburb. Created for Basic Magnesium, Inc. defense plants during World War II, Henderson continues to evolve with the addition of its own entertainment and recreation. Henderson's main attraction is Lake Mead, the world's largest man-made lake and home to Hoover Dam. North Las Vegas is the third fastest-growing city in the nation with a population exceeding 200,000, and it is vibrant and independent city. A proactive city government has led the way in creating a technology hub in the area. The city is home to the bulk of Southern Nevada's manufacturing facilities. Located in the southeastern part of the valley, 25 miles from downtown Las Vegas and 10 miles outside of Henderson lies Boulder City, home of the Hoover Dam and Lake Mead National Recreation Area. This small community preserves the charm of "small" town U.S.A. just minutes from the one of the most exciting cities in the world. Controlled growth and thoughtful planning make Boulder City an ideal choice for those seeking a hometown free from gaming. Planned Communities You might choose the mountain communities located in west and southwest Las Vegas. Mountain's Edge, Summerlin and Centennial Hills are all neighborhood communities that offer amazing vistas and landscapes. Southern Highlands in southwest Las Vegas is one of the newest areas near the airport and the trendy "south" Strip. You might prefer more established communities in the heart of the city near the Strip and resort corridor in Paradise Valley. There are also beautiful communities in Henderson just south of Las Vegas featuring championship golf courses and country clubs such as Green Valley Ranch, MacDonald's Highlands and Seven Hills.

Cleveland Clinic ranked 6th overall of 11 honorees by Diversity Inc in 2018. Companies on this list score well in talent pipeline, talent development, leadership commitment and supplier diversity.
