  • Open to everyoneAny U.S. citizen or national can apply. Some jobs also accept non-citizens; the announcement says so.
  • Agency employees onlyOnly current employees of the hiring agency.

Other groups listed above may get extra consideration, for example veterans' preference.

Open to U.S. citizens. Non-citizens may be appointed only when it is not possible to recruit qualified citizens. Current federal employees of the hiring agency may also apply.

What you would do

  • Document patient visits in the electronic health record (EHR) on time.
  • Attend department and committee meetings and prepare regular reports.
  • Maintain accurate data on all procedures.
  • Prepare and update department policies and procedures.

Do you qualify for VM-15?

With education: You need a medical degree (MD or DO) from a school approved by VA, and you must have completed residency training in an accredited program that leads to board certification eligibility. Residency options include programs approved by ACGME or AOA, or non-U.S. residency followed by at least 3 years of verified independent practice in the U.S.

Licenses and certifications you need:

  • Current, full and unrestricted license to practice medicine in a U.S. state, territory, or D.C.
  • Board certified or board eligible in pulmonology (stated in the summary)

How to apply well

What to send:

  • Resume or C.V. (the 2-page resume limit does not apply to this job)
  • DD-214 showing dates and character of service, if you claim veterans' preference
  • SF-15 with proof, if you claim 10-point veterans' preference as a disabled veteran or eligible family member
  • Other documents may be requested later

How you will be rated: You are rated on how well you meet the qualifications. Your application, resume, C.V., and other documents will be verified, and errors or omissions may hurt your chances. Veterans' preference applies when candidates are about equal, and VA may run pre-employment reference checks.

Tips for this job:

  • Your application and C.V. will be verified, so list your residency dates, medical school, and license details exactly.
  • Check that your photo ID is REAL ID compliant, because non-compliant driver's licenses cannot be used for onboarding.
  • If you claim veterans' preference, attach your DD-214 and any SF-15 proof before you apply.
