3 Reasons to Consider Locum Tenens with the VA

Our ŶatioŶ’s ǀeteraŶs serǀed aŶd saĐrifiĐed to proteĐt our freedoŵ. Noǁthey deserve high quality care, and the Veterans Health Administration provides that to millions of veterans each year. As the largest health care system in the country, the VA operates thousands of hospitals, clinics, outpatient sites and other facilities—offering endless career opportunities for locum tenens clinicians.

What are the benefits of joining the VA? We examine three big ones here.

Perfect for Any Stage in Your Career

Whether you are new to locum tenens work or new to practicing entirely, positions with the VA will help you expand your clinical skills and expose you to some of the most technologically advanced medical settings in the country. If you are a seasoned practitioner, federal facilities often come with room for growth and opportunities to teach. Based on your position and the length of contract, you can expect a robust benefits package from VA work.

Streamlined Credentialing

As with other government locum tenens assignments, VA locum tenens work requires only one active, non-restricted state license to practice across the country. VetPro—the VA’s ŶatioŶǁide iŶterŶal ĐredeŶtialiŶg sLJsteŵ—offers an online experience to cut down on the amount of paperwork involved. There will still be paperwork to complete, but working through an established locums firm can make the process easier.

Once your credentials are accepted, your path to future locum tenens assignments will be even smoother as each VA will utilize your VetPro file.

A Professional Gift

In an earlierpost, we heard from a locum tenens clinician how there is always something to learn from our ex-military personnel. The opportunity to create connections with veteran patients is what sets VA locum tenens work apart.

Other government work can be similarly rewarding—both personally and professionally. Check out our completeguide to government locum tenensto learn more.
