About Synapticure

Synapticure is the largest, most comprehensive specialty care and life sciences company in the country for those living with neurodegenerative diseases. Founded by patients and caregivers living with these diseases, we are redefining the care and the research paradigm for conditions like Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and ALS in all 50 states.

Our business is powered by two connected engines.

The CARES Engine (Clinical Operations)

A scalable, 50-state virtualized clinical network providing timely access to expert neurologists and cutting edge treatments with wraparound care coordination and behavioral health support. Our team creates personalized care plans focused on education and empowerment, connecting patients with a multidisciplinary team of subspecialty neurologists, geriatricians, psychologists, and care coordinators who collaborate to deliver comprehensive care.

The CURES Engine (Research & Innovation)

Leveraging our deeply engaged, well characterized national patient cohort, CURES partners with life science, pharma, biotech, and medical device companies to accelerate the development of neurodegenerative treatments, spanning discovery stage lab services, clinical trial services, and real world evidence data and analytics.

Partnering with providers, health plans, and life sciences companies, including CMS' GUIDE dementia care model, Synapticure is dedicated to transforming the lives of millions of individuals and their families living with neurodegenerative diseases.

About the Role

Synapticure is seeking a Cognitive Neurologist to provide expert clinical care for patients living with Alzheimer’s disease, dementia, and related cognitive disorders.

As a Cognitive Neurologist, you will play a critical role in direct patient care, ensuring adherence to clinical standards and telehealth regulations.

Oversee the prescription of medications, ordering of diagnostic tests, and interpretation of results as part of comprehensive patient care

Collaborate with behavioral health clinicians, care coordinators, and other interdisciplinary team members to optimize care continuity and quality outcomes

Participate in case conferences and team meetings to review complex cases and contribute to clinical decision-making

Stay current with emerging therapies, including anti-amyloid and disease-modifying treatments for dementia, and support patient education regarding these options

Support caregiver engagement and education, helping families understand disease progression, treatment plans, and available resources

Document all encounters accurately and promptly in the electronic health record (EHR), ensuring compliance with telehealth and regulatory standards

Contribute to the continuous improvement of Synapticure’s cognitive care protocols, leveraging technology to streamline care delivery and enhance patient experience
