Do you qualify for VM-15?

With education: You need a Doctor of Medicine (MD) or equivalent degree (such as DO) from a school approved by the VA for the year you finished. You must also have completed an approved residency in a core specialty that leads to board certification eligibility. Other paths are listed, such as one year of approved training plus two years of independent practice. The VA can also make rare exceptions to the residency requirement.

  • DD-214 showing dates and character of service, if you claim veterans' preference
  • SF-15 with proof, if you claim 10-point veterans' preference
  • Other documents may be requested later

How you will be rated: You will be rated on how well you meet the qualifications listed. Your application, resume, C.V., and other documents will be verified, and errors or omissions may affect consideration. When qualifications are about equal, preference-eligible veterans get preference.

  • If you claim veterans' preference, attach your DD-214 with your application.
