  • Maintain compliance with VA program standards, HIPAA, and federal regulations
  • Provide scheduling availability and manage workflow to meet turnaround expectations
  • Travel up to 10% to additional clinic locations as needed

Office / Facility Requirements

  • Access to a professional medical office or clinical space suitable for in‑person evaluations
  • Ability to ensure privacy and confidentiality during examinations
  • ADA‑compliant space strongly preferred to support accessibility for Veterans with disabilities
