Responsibilities

The Baylor Scott & White Institute for Rehabilitation (BSWIR) is pleased to announce an opening for a per diem psychometrist to work with our team of rehabilitation and neuropsychologists. We offer comprehensive neuropsychological evaluations to young adults and adults receiving rehabilitation at post-acute centers in Dallas and Las Colinas. This position involves working alongside the attending psychologist in administration and scoring of neuropsychological tests. Many of the patients served are recovering from traumatic brain injuries and stroke, but conditions also include encephalopathy, neuro-oncology and functional neurological symptom disorder.

 

BSWIR Dallas is located on the Baylor University Medical Center (BUMC) campus just east of downtown Dallas. This campus houses the flagship rehabilitation hospital – a 92-bed facility specializing in the treatment of traumatic brain injury, spinal cord injury, stroke and other conditions – the post-acute neurorehabilitation day program for acquired brain injuries, post-acute spinal cord injury day program, post-acute transitional/residential center and outpatient neurorehabilitation services. BSWIR - Dallas is nationally ranked as one of the best rehabilitation hospitals by U.S. News & World Report and Newsweek.

 

As a TBI and SCI Model System, BSWIR - Dallas is a leader (one of 10 in the nation) in conducting innovative, patient-centered research and education programs that lead to the highest quality outcomes in patient care. The research program is funded through multiple federal grants and contracts from the National Institute of Disability, Independent Living, and Rehabilitation Research, Department of Defense, Patient Centered Outcomes Research Institute and National Institutes of Health. Thematic areas of research include evidence-based trauma focused psychotherapy after SCI, gait recovery using exoskeletons, diabetes prevention for people with acquired brain injury, neuromodulation as a mechanism to understanding recovery, and outcomes and assessment of intimate partner violence.
