    Should I get a Psy.D to enable me to do IMEs for Veterans?

    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...

    PhD/PsyD VA Internship Telehealth/Telework

    I'm at a VA site for internship. We're not yet approved to do either telehealth or telework from home but we're still seeing patients 100% on VVC (need to be on-site at the VA only to engage in remote work). It's a pretty inefficient system that also requires a fair amount of risk in traveling...

    VA jobs - insiders only?

    Is a VA something you have to do residency at/have connections at in order to get a job? Thinking about the upcoming job search and a position at one really feels like something I would enjoy.

    The VA Mission Act

    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...

    2 year window for EPPP at VA...?

    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...

    Question about VA hospital license requirements

    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...
