What general advice would you give to an adult and pediatric neurologist?

Roger Kelley M.D.

Professor of Neurology, Louisiana State University Health Sciences Center

I would recommend that they address quality of life issues as a priority with emphasis on location, on-call expectations, family obligations and effective partnerships. Obviously, if financial challenges are at play, then they will need to be more flexible in terms of service obligations in order to justify their salary expectation.
