Full description
-Written by a human, not AI. Veterans Healthcare has a terrific opportunity for a Gastroenterologist. Here are the statements coming from doctors who've joined our team over the past 2 years. "I no longer fight with insurance companies to get the treatments my patients need." "I'm teaching and training residents and fellows, which makes call nearly non-existent." "Little Rock is a hidden gem, everything we need, really friendly people, and the airport makes it easy for my family to visit." "I have full team here for help when I need it; plus, the specialists I've met at the academic medical center across the street." "The case load is quite light and admin doesn't limit my patient care appointment slot times" "I have too much time off to fully use, and I love that I don't lose my pay when I take it."
