Loyal Source Government Services POSITION PURPOSE: As an Examiner, you will be conducting Compensation & Pension (C&P) Examinations for Veterans applying for disability compensation from the Department of Veteran Affairs (VA) in relation to their in-service injury claims. The role involves reviewing the claim, performing focused assessments of claimed injuries, reviewing medical records, and potentially rendering a medical opinion based on the record review and completed C&P exam. Charting from home may be required for this position. Each examiner plays a vital role in the overall experience of the Veteran. By providing an exceptional experience during these examinations we aim to positively impact each Veteran.

These Medical Disability Examinations are crucial in the VA’s process for determining benefits Veterans can receive as a result of service-connected health issues. Our valuable clinical insights will play a significant role in facilitating access to treatment subspecialists, when necessary, which can create exceptional continuity of care for those who need it the most.

Clinical Examiners will be guided through a web-based examination form in a proprietary online system, which will enable you to capture patient information throughout the examination process. Qualified candidates must hold an active license, possess the ability to work independently and collaboratively, demonstrate strong interpersonal skills, and be adaptable to changing situations. Basic computer skills are also required for this role.
