U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs provided pay range This range is provided by U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. Your actual pay will be based on your skills and experience — talk with your recruiter to learn more.
Base pay range $123,077.00/yr – $315,000.00/yr
Summary This position is eligible for Education Debt Reduction Program (EDRP) – a student loan payment reimbursement program. You must meet specific eligibility requirements per VHA policy and submit your EDRP application within four months of appointment. Program Approval – award amount (up to $200,000) & eligibility period (one to five years) are determined by the VHA Education Loan Repayment Services program office after review of the EDRP application. Former EDRP participants are ineligible to apply.
Qualifications To qualify for this position you must meet the basic requirements as well as any additional requirements (if applicable) listed in the job announcement. Applicants pending the completion of training or license requirements may be referred and tentatively selected but may not be hired until all requirements are met. Currently employed physician(s) in VA who met the requirements for appointment under the previous qualification standard at the time of their initial appointment are deemed to have met the basic requirements of the occupation.
Basic Requirements
United States Citizenship – Non-citizens may only be appointed when it is not possible to recruit qualified citizens in accordance with VA Policy
Doctor of medicine (MD) or an equivalent degree in medicine or osteopathic medicine
Degree must have been obtained from a school approved by the Department of Veterans Affairs for the year in which the course of study was completed
Current, full and unrestricted license to practice medicine or surgery in a State, Territory or Commonwealth of the United States (or in the District of Columbia)
Residency Training – Physicians must have completed residency training approved by the Secretary of Veterans Affairs in an accredited core specialty training program leading to eligibility for board certification. (VA physicians involved in academic training programs may be required to be board certified for faculty status.) Approved residencies are ACGME, AOA or other residencies (non‑US residency training programs followed by a minimum of five years of verified practice in the United States).
Residents currently enrolled in ACGME/AOA accredited residency training programs and who would otherwise meet the basic requirements for appointment are eligible to be appointed as “Physician Resident Providers” (PRPs).
PRPs must be fully licensed physicians (i.e., not a training license) and may only be appointed on an intermittent or fee‑basis.
PRPs are not considered independent practitioners and will not be privileged, but they have a scope of practice that allows them to perform certain restricted duties under supervision.
Surgery residents in gap years may also be appointed as PRPs.
Proficiency in spoken and written English
Preferred Experience – Board certified or board eligible
Reference: For more information on this qualification standard – see https://www.va.gov/ohrm/QualificationStandards/

Depending on the essential duties of a specific position, usable vision, color vision, hearing or speech may be required. In most cases a specific physical condition or impairment may be compensated for by the satisfactory use of a prosthesis or mechanical aid.
Duties
Manage chronic conditions – evaluate and treat inter-current medical conditions.
Determine medical assessment and develop treatment plans according to accepted protocols.
Collaborate with a Patient Aligned Care Team to provide accessible, comprehensive, coordinated, continuous care to an assigned panel of patients.
Provide comprehensive gender‑specific care for female veterans as a Women’s Health PCP, including age‑appropriate cervical and breast cancer screening, menopause and contraceptive management, and initial evaluation of basic gynecological concerns.
Perform a variety of disease prevention activities, including gender and age‑specific screenings, mental health screenings and health promotion activities.
Screen for, evaluate and treat uncomplicated common mental health disorders, including depression and common addictions, with referrals made to mental health providers as appropriate.

Maintain timely documentation (notes and encounter forms) in accordance with facility policy.
Complete all administrative work in a timely fashion.
