Summary This is an OPEN CONTINUOUS ANNOUNCEMENT and will remain open until September 30, 2026.

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 or equivalent degree in medicine or osteopathic medicine.

PRPs must be fully licensed physicians (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; they are to have a "scope of practice" that allows them to perform certain restricted duties under supervision.
