A specialty that makes a difference<\/h2>\n

According to data from the most recent census<\/a>, almost half of Veterans (49%) are 65 or older, while 27.9% were 75 or older. That makes the field of geriatrics hugely important here at the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA).<\/p>\n

That\u00e2\u0080\u0099s because we\u00e2\u0080\u0099re dedicated to meeting Veterans on their own terms, and where they need us the most.<\/p>\n

But what does geriatrics mean for you? At VA, you can find a rewarding career serving those who have served, as well as opportunities to learn and grow in a system that supports you.<\/p>\n
