5 verified openings
This watchdog has a healthcare inspection arm because a statute gave it one: the Veterans Benefits and Services Act of 1988 charged the inspector general with overseeing the medical care the Veterans Health Administration delivers. More than 900 professional staff work in four directorates, Investigations, Audits and Evaluations, Healthcare Inspections, and Management and Administration, which runs the hotline. Offices for data and analytics, congressional relations, and public affairs sit beside them, plus field offices nationwide beyond the Washington, DC headquarters.
Four directorates hold the work: criminal investigations, audits and evaluations, healthcare inspections that reach into VA medical facilities and patient safety allegations, and the management and administration side running the hotline. Field offices are scattered nationwide, so a job here need not mean Washington.
