Position Summary: We are seeking a qualified and dedicated Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation (PM&R) Physician to conduct medical assessments for veterans. This role is exclusively focused on independent medical assessments and does not involve treatment.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Review and analyze veterans' medical records through a secure web portal.
  • Conduct comprehensive, non-treating assessments of veterans to document current health conditions.
  • Complete and submit DBQs based on VA-specific templates to capture all relevant medical findings.
  • Ensure that all DBQs are thorough, accurate, and submitted within 24 hours of the assessment.
  • Assess up to four veterans daily.

Schedule: Part-time or Full-time.

Ideal Candidate Profile:

  • Motivated to perform independent medical assessments in a non-treating, investigative role.
  • Proficient in analyzing and synthesizing data from comprehensive medical records and physical assessments.
  • Skilled in managing time effectively, completing tasks within deadlines, and maintaining a focus on quality.
  • Comfortable and efficient in digital documentation and record review.
  • Dedicated to serving veterans and making a positive impact in their lives.

Requirements

  • Active MD or DO license with a specialization in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation (PM&R).
  • Board certification in Neurological Surgery, PM&R, or Psychiatry and Neurology is preferred; candidates with a completed two-year residency in a relevant specialty will also be considered.
  • Strong typing skills and attention to detail are essential.

If you are a PM&R physician who values objective assessment and is passionate about supporting veterans, we encourage you to apply for this meaningful role.
