As an Examiner, you will conduct Compensation & Pension (C&P) Examinations for Veterans applying for disability compensation from the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) in relation to their in-service injury claims. The role involves reviewing the claim, performing focused assessments of claimed injuries, reviewing medical records, and potentially rendering a medical opinion based on the record review and completed C&P exam.

Charting from home may be required. Each Examiner plays a vital role in the overall experience of the Veteran, and by providing an exceptional experience during these examinations we aim to positively impact each Veteran.

These Medical Disability Examinations are crucial in the VA’s process for determining benefits Veterans can receive as a result of service-connected health issues. Our clinical insights facilitate access to treatment subspecialists when necessary, creating exceptional continuity of care for those who need it.

Clinical Examiners will be guided through a web‑based examination form in a proprietary online system, capturing patient information throughout the examination process. Qualified candidates must hold an active license, work independently and collaboratively, demonstrate strong interpersonal skills, adapt to changing situations, and possess basic computer skills.
