Two Gastroenterology opportunities are available at the Dallas VA Medical Center (VAMC)

Join a Collaborative, Well-Supported GI Team Where Your Voice Is Valued, Your Schedule Is Respected & Your Work Truly Impacts Veterans Across an Entire Region

Two Gastroenterology opportunities are available at the Dallas VA Medical Center (VAMC)-One of the largest and most comprehensive VAMCs in the country and part of the nation's second-largest VA health care system.

Are you looking for the clinical volume and complexity of a major academic medical center without the pressures of private-sector medicine , and opportunity for advancement this is an opportunity worth exploring.

Come practice medicine the way it should be practiced-focused on your patients, your specialty, teaching, and clinical excellence-not insurance company requirements or an RVU-driven production model.

Why Dallas VA?

You will join a robust Gastroenterology & Hepatology program caring for Veterans from across North Texas, southern Oklahoma, and the surrounding region. VA North Texas serves more than 200,000 enrolled Veterans across 38 Texas counties and two Oklahoma counties , creating an extraordinary opportunity to make a meaningful regional impact.

Dallas VA offers the patient volume, clinical variety and procedural breadth you would expect from a major academic medical center , including advanced diagnostic and therapeutic endoscopy, EGD, colonoscopy and other GI procedures.

At the same time, the practice environment is designed to be manageable and sustainable . Clinic volume is considerably more controlled than many private-sector practices, allowing physicians to spend meaningful time with Veterans rather than feeling pressured to constantly increase throughput.

There is no private-sector-style production or RVU model driving your day.

Two Unique Opportunities
