Help Serve Those Who Served
Frontera Search is seeking Board Certified Physicians specializing in Neurology, Neurological Surgery (Neurosurgery), or Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation (PM&R/Physiatry) to perform disability evaluations for U.S. Veterans. This is an examination-only position designed for physicians seeking a flexible, predictable schedule while making a meaningful impact.
This is not a traditional clinical role. There is no treatment, prescribing, procedures, surgery, or ongoing patient care.
