Physicians at VA join world-class medical teams applying the latest technologies and procedures to caring for Veterans, particularly in specialty fields like urology. That’s because VA offers state-of-the-art care that rivals any care available in the world.
We also have unmatched opportunities to skip your student loans and enjoy a debt-free career. Though efforts like the Specialty Education Loan Repayment Program (SELRP), we provide partial loan forgiveness to recent medical school graduates matched to (or currently enrolled in) a VA residency.
The program helps fill open positions in specialties, like urology, with a great need for providers. Eligible physicians receive a loan repayment of $40,000 a year over four years, up to $160,000. In return, you agree to practice at a VA facility for 12 months for each $40,000, with a minimum commitment of two years.
All that is in addition to the other employment benefits you’ll find working at VA. Members of our team enjoy a work-life balance unmatched by the private sector and the reward of providing care to a particularly selfless and deserving group of patients—our nation’s Veterans!
