Veterans Healthcare has a terrific opportunity for a Cardiac Electrophysiologist.   Below are actual statements 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, lower cost of living, and the airport makes it easy for my family to visit." 
• "I have so many specialists here for help when I need it; plus, the specialists I've met at the academic medical center across the street are helpful too."
• "The case load is quite light and admin doesn't micromanage how much time I get with my patients." 
• "I have too much time off to fully use.  In fact, I was never able to take a 2 week vacation in private practice; and I love that I don't lose my pay when I take it."

You get the idea.  I think you should interview us.  Feel free to research Little Rock or Central Arkansas.  Sure, we have weaknesses, but we have so many strengths.      

Highlights of this opportunity:

• Compensation range:  $400,000 - $450,000, plus additional incentives possible.
• Probably the best retirement and health benefits in the country!  (I am happy to provide details when we talk.) 
• Work schedule: Monday – Friday, 8:00am-4:30pm; 1 day per week in clinic, 3-4 days per week in the EP lab.
• 50+ days of PAID leave per year + 12 weeks of PAID maternal/paternal leave possible. 
• Earn extra money by moonlighting at other local facilities. 
• Malpractice insurance not needed. 

Requirements: 

• Open to US citizens, and non-citizens.
• Must have a Medical Doctorate (M.D.), Doctor of Osteopathy (D.O.), or Bachelor of Medicine Bachelor of Surgery (MBBS) with acceptable USMLE scores. 
• Must have completed a ACGME accredited residency program, or have practiced in this specialty for at least 5 years - case logs will be required. 
• You must have at least 1 active state medical license, and all your other state medical licenses must have either be voluntarily not renewed, or in good standing.

Let's get the ball rolling: email a copy of your current CV to me, I'll review it and we'll set up a call.  If you aren't interested, would you at least help a veteran by mentioning this to a few friends?

Paid Time Off:

• 26 Days paid annual (vacation/personal) leave
• 13 Days paid sick leave each year with no limit on accumulation
• 11 Federal holidays  with pay annually
• 5 Days paid absence to attend approved CME courses

• Health Insurance : VA employees have an outstanding number of health insurance plans from which to choose (premiums are partially paid by VA) Lifetime Healthcare Insurance options available
• Dental & Vision : Our insurance options also include exceptional vision and dental plans (premiums are partially paid by VA)
• VA employees have the option to use Flexible Spending Accounts , which allow you to use tax-free dollars to pay for medical, dental, and vision care expenses that are not reimbursed by your health insurance plan
• Term life insurance , family, and additional coverage options are available with the cost shared by the Federal Government

Federal Retirement Plan:

• VA employees are covered by the Federal Employees Retirement System (FERS). FERS is a three-tiered retirement plan composed of 1) Social Security benefits, 2) FERS-RAE basic benefits (pension), and 3) Thrift Savings Plan (TSP) which is a 401K-type plan
• How is the pension funded? VA employees automatically contribute 4.4% of their salary each pay period and the VA contributes 12.2% of the employee’s salary each pay period for a total annual contribution percentage equal to 16.6% of the employee’s salary
• Similar to the 401(k) savings plans widely available in the private sector, the TSP allows employees to tax defer a portion of their income each year, subject to the requirements of the Internal Revenue Service. For calendar year 2025, employees under the age of 50 may contribute up to $23,500, while those over age 50 are eligible to make catch-up contributions that allow them to defer up to $31,000.
• The Federal Government also provides an automatic basic contribution (1% of salary) and up to 4% of salary in matching contributions , depending on the amount of the employee contribution
• For retired military personnel, these benefits are in addition to full monthly retirement pay or pension
• In addition to FERS, VA provides health care insurance coverage for retired personnel
• Disability Retirement
• Employees are vested in a federal pension after only 5 years service
