Job Summary:

As a Medical Doctor working with Cognitive Diagnostic Associates, this part time role is focused exclusively on Independent Educational Evaluations (IEEs) for students receiving or seeking special education services. This is not a clinical, treatment, or school based medical position.

The physician’s role is limited to medical records review, medical analysis, and report writing as it relates to special education eligibility under IDEA and California Education Code. Responsibilities include reviewing hearing, vision, and medical records; analyzing developmental and medical histories; and providing clear, objective medical summaries addressing whether medical conditions impact educational access, learning, or functioning.
