The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) has launched the Physician Ambassador Program in an effort to recruit volunteer medical providers at the more than 1,700 VA health-care facilities across the nation. The physician and clinician “ambassadors” are qualified, trained and licensed health providers who will meet the same requirements as VA professionals in terms of credentials, supervision and evaluation. The new program will enhance access to urgent care, rural health care and emergency medicine for Veterans. Physicians or health-care providers interested in volunteering as a part of the Physician Ambassador Program should contact their local VA medical center.
