Make May merry and meet a VA recruiter at these events

May promises to be a merry, merry month for medical professionals, as numerous events in some of the country’s most exciting cities offer opportunities to share knowledge and network with experts in the field.

Our VA recruiters will be traveling across the country, as well, sharing information about the many benefits of bringing your expertise to the care of Veterans. Whether it’s a better work/life balance or the ability to live and work anywhere in the country with one active license, there’s something at VA for everyone.

In May, we’ll be attending events with:

The Texas state capital

The Society of Biological Psychiatry (SOBP) will hold its annual meeting in Austin from May 2-4, 2024. The event promises an interactive platform for learning and discovery, focusing on alternative and transformative frameworks for understanding psychiatric illnesses.

Complementing SOBP’s interest in research and investigation, our team can tell you how VA’s research programs play a vital role in the delivery of care for the nation’s Veterans, and how our work is often the channel for new technologies to be introduced around the country.

Knowing that Veterans face unique challenges when returning home and transitioning back to civilian life, our team will be on hand at the event to discuss the mental health care VA provides, and how you can help us make sure they’re getting what they need from VA.
