Veterans Affairs New Pay Scale Could Help Recruit More Physicians
In an effort to provide the best health care possible for veterans, their survivors, and dependents, the Department of Veterans Affairs has increased the maximum rate of annual pay for physicians and dentists by $20,000 to $35,000. The VA’s decision to hire more physicians complements the Academy’s advocacy efforts to increase federal funding for programs that would ensure that eye surgery is performed by an ophthalmologist at VA and Department of Defense facilities.
