Can you apply?

Yes, if you are a U.S. citizen: this job is open to everyone.

  • Open to everyoneAny U.S. citizen or national can apply. Some jobs also accept non-citizens; the announcement says so.

Open to the public, but you must be a U.S. citizen, national, or someone who owes allegiance to the U.S. Non-citizens may be appointed only when qualified citizens cannot be recruited.

What you would do

  • Serve as attending physician in outpatient clinics.
  • Supervise or perform joint injections and aspirations.
  • Consult with nurse practitioners and provide inpatient consultations.
  • Travel as needed to provide care at community-based clinics.
  • Teach rheumatology fellows, internal medicine residents and medical students.

Do you qualify for AD-15?

With experience: Work experience is not a basic requirement. Two to three years of clinical experience is a plus but not required.

With education: You need a medical degree (MD or DO) from an approved school and completed residency training in an accredited program. Board certification or board eligibility in Internal Medicine and in Rheumatology is preferred. Other paths are listed, such as a non-U.S. residency followed by at least three years of verified 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.

How to apply well

What to send:

  • C.V. and/or resume (the 2-page resume limit does not apply)
  • DD-214 showing dates and character of service, if claiming veterans' preference
  • SF-15 with proof, if claiming 10-point veterans' preference

How you will be rated: You are rated on how well you meet the listed qualifications. Your application, resume, C.V. and other documents will be verified, and errors or omissions may hurt your chances. The VA may also run pre-employment reference checks.

Tips for this job:

  • Confirm you hold, or can get, a full and unrestricted medical license in a U.S. state, territory, or D.C.
  • If you have them, list board certification or eligibility in Internal Medicine and Rheumatology, since both are preferred.
  • If you cannot apply online before the deadline, email the agency contact and include announcement number CBSY-13105077-27-AE in the notes.
