To learn what you need to know when you start the VA application process, we asked members of our physician-provider recruiter (PPR) team, who work in our Veterans Integrated Services Networks<\/a> (VISNs) around the country, to share advice and insight about what it means to work at VA.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

What did they have to say?\u00a0<\/p>\n

Jeffrey D. Richter of VISN 15<\/a> said, \u201cOur onboarding process is unique and different than most. We have different guidelines and procedures than other health care facilities you may be used to. In turn, it may take our onboarding team a little bit longer to ensure all these requirements are met. Communication is key with your onboarding partners.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Your efforts will pay off when you have the chance to serve Veterans.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cYou\u2019ll see consistent displays of the genuine compassion shown, as well as a commitment to care, and the devotion to providing the best possible service to those who served our country,\u201d said Tracey Cooper of VISN 20<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cWorking at VA is the purest form of practicing medicine,\u201d shared Timothy A. Bernau of VISN 22<\/a>. \u201cYou concentrate on what you\u2019re truly passionate about and that\u2019s helping people!\u201d\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Work at VA\u00a0<\/h3>\n

Read the rest of what our PPR team members have to say, and get more advice about the application process, at VA Careers<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n
