Cardiac Invasive Interventional Physician for Veterans Health
Job at a glance
Job description
Let's start with worst first, shall we? Federal Government annual compensation limits... :( $400,000, plus extra perks ranging from $10k - $75k, if you qualify. If that is absolutely too low for you, regardless of how great the new life is, then the below doesn't matter.
Still reading? How about some good news? $400,000 here in Little Rock is like $600,000 in most larger cities. Easy to see why Arkansas literally ranked #1 in the country for inbound moves in 2024 and 2025 ... Also, as for your medical practice, you won't have to spend time convincing insurance companies that your treatment plans are in the best interest of your patient! Furthermore, you have time with your patients, you have a full team of other cardiologists, don't have to manage staff, and you get the benefit of having Cardiology fellows, IM residents, and even hospitalists cover most of the call needs. You'll build a huge retirement here, earn plenty of time off, and enjoy a work/life balance that is equivalent to only having to work about 4 days per week, all while still receiving full-time pay.
Oh, and we can sponsor all types of immigration needs, if that's part of your story.
Be brazen, give me a call the next time you are driving home. If you like what you hear, we'll set up an informal phone interview.
Best regards,
Michael Legate,
