    We have acute and chronic hemodialysis programs; we're working to expand our acute peritoneal dialysis program. Excellent facilities and equipment are in place.

    Our renal service provides some remote care through telehealth and video visits; medical subspecialists are not required to travel to our affiliated clinics.

    There are numerous opportunities for clinical research and collaboration in research projects.

    Preference will be given to candidates who are board certified or recently board eligible in nephrology A track record of success in education and/or research will be noted in the selection process.

    VA offers a comprehensive total rewards package. VHA Physician Total Rewards.


    Recruitment Incentive (Sign-on Bonus): Approved

    Pay: Competitive salary, annual performance bonus, regular salary increases


    Paid Time Off: 50-55 days of paid time off per year (26 days of annual leave, 13 days of sick leave, 11 paid Federal holidays per year and possible 5 day paid absence for CME)


    Retirement: Traditional federal pension (5 years vesting) and federal 401K with up to 5% in contributions by VA


    Insurance:
    Federal health/vision/dental/term life/long-term care (many federal insurance programs can be carried into retirement)


    Licensure: 1 full and unrestricted license from any US State or territory


    CME: Possible $1,000 per year reimbursement (must be full-time with board certification)


    Malpractice: Free liability protection with tail coverage provided


    Contract: No Physician Employment Contract and no significant restriction on moonlighting


    The incumbent is expected to actively participate in quality improvement activities and ensure compliance with rules and regulations of the agency, facility and department.

    The incumbent will also ensure that a satisfactory process is maintained for supervision and training of fellows, residents and medical students from University of Arizona College of Medicine rotating through the Nephrology Division.

    Like all Nephrology Division members, the candidate must maintain American Heart Association BLS certification. A commitment to compliance with VA and SAVAHCS regulatory requirements is expected. Some administrative experience is preferred. Investigators with VA Merit Review Awards are afforded up to thirty-five percent protected time for research.

    The successful candidate will enjoy the security of VA salary funding, the generous federal benefits package, our lovely southwestern climate, the professional advantages of academic affiliation, and a medium size city with the cultural enrichments of a major university.
