  • Other documents may be requested later in the process

How you will be rated: You will be rated on how well you meet the qualifications listed. Your application, resume, C.V., and supporting documents will be verified, and errors or missing information may hurt your chances. Veterans and preference-eligible candidates get preference when qualifications are about equal.

Tips for this job:

  • Attach a C.V. or resume that shows your residency, fellowship, and board certification dates.
  • Apply online before the closing date; the job may close early if filled another way.
