We provide comprehensive physician staffing solutions across multiple federal sectors including, the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), Department of Defense (DoD), Indian Health Service (IHS), Federal Bureau of Prisons (BOP), Department of Homeland Security medical facilities, and various other federal healthcare installations. Our extensive network includes both civilian and uniformed service opportunities, ensuring we can match physicians with positions that align with their career goals and service preferences.
The federal hiring process typically ranges from 3 to 6 months, depending on the agency and security clearance requirements. We streamline this timeline by pre-validating credentials, maintaining active relationships with federal HR departments, and providing dedicated support throughout each step. Our experienced team guides candidates through paperwork, background investigations, and medical clearances, often reducing standard timelines by 30-40% compared to direct applications.
Federal physician compensation is highly competitive, with base salaries ranging from $200,000 to $400,000+ annually, depending on specialty, location, and experience level. Beyond base pay, federal positions offer exceptional benefits, including comprehensive health insurance, retirement plans (FERS and TSP with government matching), paid time off, continuing education allowances, loan repayment programs, and potential bonuses. Many positions also offer geographic location incentives and board certification bonuses.
Yes, we provide flexible staffing solutions including, permanent placements, locum tenens assignments (ranging from weeks to months), and contract-to-permanent opportunities. Our temporary assignments are particularly valuable for physicians seeking federal experience, those between permanent positions, or professionals wanting to serve in specific locations or missions. We maintain active relationships with agencies needing both short-term coverage and long-term physician commitments.
Security clearance requirements vary by agency and position. Most VA and IHS positions require a standard background investigation, while DoD and certain DHS positions may require Secret or Top-Secret clearances. We guide physicians through the entire clearance process, including SF-86 completion, interview preparation, and timeline expectations. Our security specialists help expedite clearances and address any potential concerns proactively.
Our matching process combines advanced candidate profiling with deep agency knowledge. We conduct comprehensive interviews covering clinical expertise, career goals, location preferences, and mission alignment. Our team includes former federal healthcare administrators who understand agency cultures and requirements. We maintain detailed profiles of each position’s clinical demands, administrative expectations, and growth opportunities, ensuring optimal long-term matches.
Our relationship continues well beyond placement with dedicated account management, regular check-ins, performance support, and career development guidance. We provide transition assistance, help resolve any workplace challenges, assist with contract renewals or advancement opportunities, and maintain open communication channels with both physicians and agency supervisors. Our goal is long-term success for all parties.
Absolutely. We provide comprehensive licensing support including, application assistance, document gathering, expedited processing when available, and coordination with state medical boards. Our licensing specialists track renewal dates, help with multi-state licensing strategies, and ensure compliance with federal credentialing requirements. We also assist with specialty board certifications and other professional requirements.
Our competitive advantages include exclusive federal healthcare focus, former federal administrators on staff, established agency relationships spanning decades, comprehensive pre-screening and credentialing support, and proven track record with thousands of successful placements.

For urgent staffing needs, we can typically present pre-screened, qualified candidates within 48-72 hours. Our database includes thousands of active physicians at various career stages, many with existing or recently expired federal clearances. We maintain “hot files” of immediately available locum tenens physicians and can activate our network for emergency placements.
