VA psychiatrists work to improve the mental health of Veterans

Veterans face unique difficulties when returning home and transitioning back to civilian life, and our psychiatrists expertly tailor treatment plans that empower Veterans to take charge of their wellbeing and pursue fuller lives.

This approach allows our Veterans the opportunity to take an active role in their mental health care. We want our Veterans to be part of their own treatment team, working with their psychiatrists to set recovery goals, develop treatment plans, establish benchmarks and monitor progress.

Working at VA will provide you with the ability to practice anywhere within our nationwide system of over 1,300 facilities with one active license-a unique benefit you won't find anywhere else. VA also offers a low doctor/patient ratio that ensures Veterans get the best of their mental health provider with each visit.

"Working for VA means you'll be treating our nation's heroes," said Samuel Wright, a national health care recruitment consultant at VA. "You'll be caring for those who have served our nation in wartime and peacetime. What greater satisfaction can you get?"
