Start the Career of a Lifetime

As a VA health care, administration, or support professional, your opportunities are endless. By working for the largest, most technologically advanced integrated health care system in the Nation, you'll have a wider range of opportunities and leadership positions at your fingertips.

VA's vast system also means more practice settings and specialization opportunities for health care professionals. No matter which VA facility you choose, you'll work within an interdisciplinary care team structure and be challenged to achieve the most positive patient outcomes possible. You'll practice groundbreaking medicine, often treating patients with injuries rarely seen in the private sector. You will also use some of the most advanced medical technologies in the Nation.

Geography won't even get in your way. When life dictates a move, you can seek employment at any location where there is a vacancy and transfer with no loss of benefits. For health care professionals, only one current, active professional state license is necessary to practice anywhere in the U.S. and Puerto Rico.

At the end of the day, VA professionals feel good about their careers, the Veterans they serve, and their ability to balance work and home life. VA offers generous paid time off and a variety of predictable and flexible scheduling opportunities.
