Do you qualify for GP-14?

You also need at least 1 year of supervised clinical work after your medical degree. Experience cannot replace the required residency training. The pay grade is GP 14.

With education: A Doctor of Medicine (MD) or Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine (DO), or equivalent, from a school accredited in the U.S. or Canada. Foreign medical degrees must show equivalent education, such as permanent ECFMG certification or passing the U.S. Medical Licensing Examination.

Licenses and certifications you need:

• Current, active, full, unrestricted physician license from a U.S. state, D.C., Puerto Rico, or a U.S. territory

How to apply well

What to send:

• Resume of two pages or less showing employer, job title, start and end dates (month and year), hours per week, and duties
• Copy of your physician license and certifications, required or you are rated ineligible
• Transcripts if you qualify through education
• Cover letter (optional)
• Most recent performance appraisal, if applicable

How you will be rated: After closing, your full application (resume, supporting documents, and questionnaire answers) is reviewed to see if you meet the qualifications. Missing documents can make your application incomplete, and inflated qualifications can cost you consideration.

Tips for this job:

• Keep your resume to two pages or less, or it will be removed from consideration.
• Attach a copy of your physician license, or you will be rated ineligible.
• Your starting salary is set after you accept the offer, so no salary quote is given earlier. Submit by 11:59 PM EST on 11/02/2026, and allow up to an hour for uploads to clear virus scanning.
