  • Reliable transportation and access to your own office (for certain locations)

Nice to Have Skills:
  • Prior experience working with Veterans or in a federal assessment setting
  • Certification in DMA or relevant training (not mandatory)
  • Familiarity with medical documentation and report writing

Preferred Education and Experience:
  • MD or DO in Family Medicine, Internal Medicine, Orthopedic Surgery, or similar specialties
  • Minimum of 2 years clinical practice or assessment experience
  • Prior experience with VA or government assessments is a plus

Other Requirements:
  • Willingness to travel within designated radius areas (30-50 miles)
  • Ability to work independently and adhere to strict evaluation protocols
  • Complete credentialing and onboarding efficiently
  • Available to start by March 6, 2026

Compensation includes competitive flat rates: $800 for half-day (up to 4 hours) and $1,600 for full-day (5 hours or more), with a $650 bonus upon completing initial training and first exams. Rates include travel expenses within local areas. No overtime or holiday rates apply, and follow-up administrative work compensation is embedded within the flat rates.

Seize this chance to make a difference in Veterans' lives while enjoying flexible work arrangements. Apply now to become part of a dedicated team committed to excellence and service.
