Education: You need a Doctor of Medicine (MD) or Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine (DO) degree from a school approved by the VA. You also need residency training in an accredited core specialty program that leads to eligibility for board certification. Some applicants with training outside the U.S. may qualify if they also have at least three years of verified U.S. practice.
Licenses and certifications:
- Current, full, and unrestricted license to practice medicine or surgery in a U.S. state, territory, Commonwealth, or the District of Columbia

You sign in to USAJOBS with a Login.gov account, answer the questionnaire and upload your documents, then you submit. Answer the questionnaire honestly: your resume must show what you claim.
How they rate you: You will be rated on how well you meet the qualifications. Your application, resume, CV, and supporting documents will be verified, and the VA may check references. Errors or omissions may affect whether you are considered.
4 After you apply
In USAJOBS, under Applications, you can see where your application stands: received, reviewed, referred to the hiring manager or not, then selected or not. It can take a few weeks.
For the interview, prepare three examples with the STAR method: the Situation, the Task, what you did (Action) and the Result.
If they choose you: a tentative offer, then a background check, then the final offer with your start date.
Tips for this job:
- Submit a CV or resume. The 2-page resume limit does not apply to this job.
- Show your medical degree, residency training, and license details clearly, since errors or omissions may affect consideration.
- Use a REAL ID-compliant form of identification, because onboarding will not accept non-REAL ID driver's licenses.
