• Maintain accurate medical records, securely submit examination findings daily, and close assigned cases within 48 hours.
• Coordinate with clinical leadership to maintain examination quality, reporting accuracy, and adherence to established clinical standards.

Training specific to the VA disability examination process will be arranged.

Requirements

• Medical degree (MD or DO).
• Board certified or board eligible in Ophthalmology.
• Current, unrestricted license to practice medicine in the United States, a U.S. territory, or Canada.
