Geriatric Veterans are our largest current demographic, with more than 11 million aging Veterans in the nation. It is a number that is only going to increase, meaning many more Veterans will be looking to us to provide geriatric care in the coming years.
Right now, VA has numerous openings for clinicians interested in pursuing geriatric medicine across all spectrums of care, including:
- Physicians
- Nurses
- Psychiatrists
- Pharmacists
- Occupational therapists
Even if your specialty isn’t in a clinical field, you can provide the kind of support our aging Veterans need in several other positions, including:
- Administrative
- Information technology
- Support services
No matter the role, what’s important is our shared commitment to providing the best care to some of our most vulnerable and complex patients.
“This focus on identifying what matters to our most vulnerable older Veterans and addressing their unmet needs and geriatric syndromes really makes a positive impact on their lives,” said Dr. Colleen McQuown, director of VA’s geriatric emergency department transition program.

Hi. I’m finding it hard to get hired by the VA as a Food Service worker. I’m a Veteran and they appear to have a lot of jobs. It would be my way of giving back in this role. The pay isn’t great, but at least I’d be around fellow Vets. What gives? Thanks.
