For physicians, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, and certified registered nurse anesthetists who want to come to VA, but may be indebted to their current employers, VA’s new Contract Buy-Out Program (CBOP) is a game changer.
“Over the years, there have been too many physicians and health care providers who want to serve our Veteran patients but had to turn down the opportunity due to a contract with their current employer,” explained Paul Gaffney, program manager.
“With the CBOP, they now have the ability to not only begin a rewarding career, but it will enable them to focus on the clinical aspects of medicine knowing they have support from the largest health care system in the country.”
Best of all, the CBOP doesn’t preclude you from participating in any of our other programs or incentives. If you qualify for relocation bonuses or education repayment plans, you can enjoy those in addition to the benefit of having your contract bought out by VA.
