Hello everyone! I was wondering if anyone has any experience using the DEA / chapter 35 benefits to pay for medical school? I qualify for it and will likely attend an in-state school, but I cannot find much about it online. I am specifically looking into the tuition benefits chapter 35 provides...

I am a first-year medical student and am filling out onboarding forms from the VA right now. Part of the process is filling out forms, the other part is getting fingerprinted. I have a sealed record of a misdemeanor charge, for which I was on probation and got a deferred adjudication 7 years...

I applied as a PharmD Scholarship Candidate as of 3/26/24. If anyone has applied this year, what is your current status? Mine still says submitted as of today. When emailed they said that they don't have an ETA on review for pharmacy submissions.

Hi all, I have my BA in Psychology and I'm trying to decide if I should get an LMHC or a Psy.D. In terms of how I want to practice, the only benefit a Psy.D confers is the ability to do IMEs for Veterans (and it adds a little more credibility if I want to write a book or make an informative...

Greetings, I would like to survey the opinions, experiences, pitfalls, advice, etc. from professional colleagues who have tried to utilize objective personality/psychopathology testing in clinical (treatment) settings at VA such as the MMPI-2-RF or PAI.

The mind boggles at the implications of this act’s passage. That said, I wouldn’t be surprised if this whole thing unravels given the absence of any real fiscal planning. VA psychologists on this board — any thoughts about this news? I did five years at the VA and would never dream of going...

Greetings! I have a question for VA folks. I received an informal offer yesterday while interviewing at VA hospital (yay!). The chief stated that he'd really like me to take the EPPP "within a month" (such that I am fully licensed by projected start date of September 2017) because he doesn't...

I am planning on taking the NAPLEX/MPJE in NC where I went to pharmacy school; however, I matched at a residency in PA within the VA. When the VA says they accept any states licensure does that mean they will accept my NC NAPLEX/MPJE or will they only accept the NC NAPLEX and then I will need to...

Hello! I was just wondering, for someone who's trying to gain experience working as an inpatient staff pharmacist, is it better to work at a large teach hospital or at the VA? And as far as opportunities to grow as a pharmacist and being promoted into other clinical positions, which of the two...
