About the Agency

An all-service VA Medical Center in an all-season recreational getaway! General Surgeon is needed in Augusta, Maine. Must-have an unrestricted state medical license.  This is your opportunity to use and develop your skills of diagnosing, treating, and managing patients according to standard, usual, and acceptable methods and techniques.

 

B/C or B/E in Surgery preferred.  Disabled persons and/or veterans are encouraged to apply.

 

This is the opportunity for you to receive a competitive salary, a generous leave package, excellent health & life insurance benefits, and retirement benefits.  Additionally, you could experience the sense of patriotism and pride associated with working with veterans.  You'd be eligible to participate in a pension program as well as a matching Thrift Savings Plan which is similar to a 401K.   If you have prior military experience, you may be able to combine accrued military retirement credit with VA pension benefits.

Live in Augusta, or within easy commuting distance, in the mid-coast region, in the mountains, or lakeside. Safe communities with highly rated school systems. Variety of outdoors recreational destinations, near-by college and university campuses, and other cultural events are some examples of what central Maine has to offer.  Living in Maine offers excellent quality of life and access to many cultural and recreational activities.

Your salary will be determined by local Physician/Dentist Compensation Panel (commensurate with education, experience and qualifications). By law, U.S. Citizens will be given 1st preference but non-citizens will be considered in the absence of qualified citizens. Recruitment Incentive (or Relocation Incentive for a current VA employee) may be available.

OUR MISSION: To fulfill President Lincoln's promise – "To care for him who shall have borne the battle, and for his widow, and his orphan" – by serving and honoring the men and women who are America's Veterans.
