About Synapticure

As a patient and caregiver-founded company, Synapticure provides instant access to expert neurologists, cutting‑edge treatments and trials, and wraparound care coordination and behavioral health support in all 50 states through a virtual care platform. Partnering with providers and health plans, including CMS' new GUIDE dementia care model, Synapticure is dedicated to transforming the lives of millions of individuals and their families living with neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, and ALS.

Synapticure’s Cognitive Care team delivers personalized, comprehensive care to patients and caregivers navigating memory and cognitive disorders, from early‑stage mild cognitive impairment to advanced dementias. Our clinicians combine evidence‑based medicine with technology‑enabled care coordination to simplify access and ensure patients receive expert, compassionate support wherever they live.

The Role

Synapticure is seeking a Telehealth Cognitive Care Neurologist to provide expert clinical care for patients living with Alzheimer’s disease, dementia, and related cognitive disorders. In this role, you will conduct comprehensive virtual evaluations, diagnose and manage complex neurodegenerative conditions, and collaborate closely with interdisciplinary team members—including advanced practice providers (APPs), behavioral health specialists, and care coordinators—to ensure a seamless and supportive patient experience.

As a Cognitive Neurologist, you will play a critical leadership role in both direct patient care and clinical oversight, supervising APPs across multiple states and ensuring adherence to clinical standards and telehealth regulations. The ideal candidate brings deep expertise in cognitive neurology including memory disorders, thrives in a virtual care environment, and is passionate about expanding access to specialized neurological care for patients and families across the country.

Job Duties – What you’ll be doing

  • Conduct virtual consultations, cognitive assessments, and diagnostic evaluations for patients with Alzheimer’s disease, dementia, mild cognitive impairment (MCI), and related conditions
  • Supervise and collaborate with Advanced Practice Providers (APPs) across multiple states, providing clinical guidance and ensuring adherence to practice standards and state regulatory requirements
  • Develop individualized, evidence‑based care plans that incorporate pharmacologic management, cognitive therapy recommendations, and supportive care strategies
  • 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

Research, Innovation, and Clinical Trials

  • At Synapticure, we believe that advancing dementia care requires not only excellence in clinical practice but also active participation in research and innovation. As part of our Cognitive Care program, you will have the opportunity to collaborate with leading research organizations and industry partners to bring cutting‑edge therapies to patients through clinical trials and real‑world evidence initiatives. Our clinicians contribute to the design and implementation of studies evaluating new diagnostic tools, biomarkers, and disease‑modifying treatments for Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias. Physicians interested in academic engagement will also have opportunities to lead or co‑author research publications, present findings at conferences, and mentor team members in evidence‑based practice development—all while working in a forward‑thinking, mission‑driven healthcare environment.
  • Requirements – What we look for in you

  • MD or DO from an accredited institution
  • Completion of a residency in Neurology, with fellowship training in Behavioral / Cognitive Neurology or equivalent experience strongly preferred
  • Board certification in Neurology (ABPN) required
  • Active, unrestricted medical license in at least one U.S. state; multi‑state or IMLC eligibility preferred
  • 3+ years of clinical experience managing patients with memory or cognitive disorders
  • Demonstrated proficiency in telemedicine platforms and digital tools for conducting virtual neurological evaluations
  • Strong clinical expertise in cognitive assessment, dementia management, and interdisciplinary collaboration
  • Excellent communication skills for patient, family, and team interactions across virtual channels
  • Commitment to patient‑centered, empathetic care and continuous learning in neurodegenerative disease management
  • Preferred Qualifications

  • Fellowship‑trained in Cognitive and Behavioral Neurology or substantial experience treating Alzheimer’s and dementia‑related conditions
  • Prior experience supervising Advanced Practice Providers (APPs) in a multi‑state or telehealth environment
  • Familiarity with amyloid targeting therapies and other emerging therapies for Alzheimer’s disease
  • Experience within an integrated, interdisciplinary care model or value‑based care environment
  • We’re founded by a patient and caregiver, and we’re a remote‑first company.

  • Relentless focus on patients and caregivers. We are determined to provide an exceptional experience for every patient we have the privilege to serve, and we put our patients first in everything we do.
  • Embody the spirit and humanity of those living with neurodegenerative disease. Inspired by our founders, families, and personal experiences, we recognize the seriousness of our patients’ circumstances and meet that challenge every day with empathy, compassion, kindness, and hope.
  • Seek to understand, and stay curious. We start by listening to one another, our partners, our patients, and their caregivers. We communicate with authenticity and humility, prioritizing honesty and directness while recognizing we always have something to learn.
  • Embrace the opportunity. We are energized by the importance of our mission and bias toward action.
