Our Mission
We aim to provide high-quality assessments that support the needs of United States Veterans.
The Role
We are seeking a licensed psychologist to perform comprehensive disability assessments on Veterans as part of the VA's benefits process.

As a licensed psychologist, you will assess an average of four Veterans per day.
This is an independent contractor position with a flexible schedule of two to three days per week from 8 am to 5 pm.
