Embrace innovation at VA and take your career to new heights

VA's commitment to cutting-edge innovation is more robust than ever before, and it's a commitment we're proud to showcase with our new PSA, which was recently rolled out nationwide.

In the PSA, "New Heights," we showcase VA Immersive technology, an innovative virtual reality tool that allows our medical teams to support Veterans with new and exciting treatment programs. In the video, we see how this technology has allowed a Veteran to feel strong and supported.

"We believe immersive technology is defining a new reality in Veteran health care, and we're excited to see growth and expansion of a clinical tool that Veterans and VA staff continue to request," said Dr. Anne Lord Bailey, the immersive technology lead for our Office of Healthcare Innovation and Learning (OHIL).

Innovators have long had a home at VA. Our embrace of new programs and technologies is often the channel for these treatments and tools to be introduced, federally approved, and brought to clinical environments around the country.

In turn, our researchers have been the recipients of multiple Nobel prizes, and our commitment to serving Veterans has resulted in significant advancements in medical science in a variety of fields.
