Health Aid and Technician
3 open positions in this category
The 0640 series covers health technicians and aides: support staff who work under clinical supervision in a specialty where no narrower technician series exists, such as dietetics, telehealth, podiatry or patient transport. In the Veterans Health Administration, the main source of listings here, health technicians run telehealth equipment and connect veterans with remote providers, assist in podiatry and specialty clinics, support dietitians, and coordinate medical transportation; the Air National Guard position is a unit-level medical role.
Recent listings have included lead health technicians in dietetics and in telehealth clinical work, a health technician in podiatry, a supervisory medical care transportation technician and a health technician at an Air National Guard unit.
Applying tip: 0640 is experience based at most grades, with education substitutable at the lower ones, and VA announcements often ask for Basic Life Support certification and a specific skill such as telehealth technology or dietetic support, so match the resume to the specialty in the title. Guard positions may require military membership, which the announcement states up front. Our National Guard guide explains those announcements.
