Podiatrist
8 open positions in this category
Podiatrists are doctors of podiatric medicine (DPM) who diagnose and treat conditions of the foot and ankle, medically and surgically, and in VA medical centers they carry a heavy load of diabetic foot care, wound care, limb preservation and reconstructive surgery. The Veterans Health Administration is the main federal employer, and it appoints podiatrists under Title 38, the VA’s own health care personnel system, rather than the General Schedule. VA also places podiatrists in senior clinical leadership, which explains the executive titles on this page.
Recent listings have included podiatrists in surgical care, a primary care supervisor, an outpatient section chief in spinal cord injury and disorders, and podiatrists serving as chief of staff, deputy chief of staff, deputy chief of imaging and chief of pathology and laboratory services.
Applying tip: VA requires a DPM from an accredited college of podiatric medicine, completion of a residency and a full, unrestricted license in any state, and leadership positions look for administrative experience such as section or service chief roles, so document both the clinical and the management record. The federal benefits guide helps compare a VA offer with private practice.
