The ideal candidate will provide comprehensive care to patients of all ages, focusing on preventive care, health education, and management of chronic conditions.

- Develop and implement individualized treatment plans based on patient needs.
- Administer medications and injections as required.

- Manage acute care situations in various settings including urgent care, emergency medicine, and hospital environments.
- Provide care for patients with chronic illnesses, including geriatrics, pediatrics, and those requiring hospice & palliative medicine.

- Perform diagnostic evaluations consistent with VA Disability Benefits Questionnaires (DBQs) and VA guidelines.
- Objectively assess and document clinical findings related to claimed conditions (e.g., musculoskeletal, cardiovascular, neurological, psychiatric, respiratory).
- Enter exam results into electronic medical record systems and prepare clear, evidence-based medical reports.
- Ensure all documentation meets VA standards for completeness, accuracy, and timeliness.
- Collaborate with other examiners (physicians, psychologists, physician assistants) when necessary for complex cases.
- Maintain professional neutrality: provide factual medical evidence without making disability rating decisions.
- Protect sensitive veteran health information in accordance with HIPAA and VA privacy regulations.
