Transform Lives, Not Just Lab Values – Endocrinology Opportunity Where Purpose Meets Lifestyle (Clarksburg VA)

Transform Lives, Not Just Lab Values – Endocrinology Opportunity Where Purpose Meets Lifestyle (Clarksburg VA)

If you’re an Endocrinologist looking for more than just another clinical role—this is your opportunity to practice with purpose, autonomy, and balance at the Clarksburg, West Virginia VA Medical Center.

Here, you’re not chasing RVUs—you’re changing lives.

Why This Role Stands Out

Step into a highly impactful outpatient practice where you can focus on what you do best:

• Diagnose and treat endocrine and metabolic disorders in a 100% outpatient setting
• Manage a patient panel with ~85% diabetes and thyroid care (new diagnoses + longitudinal management)
• Collaborate with a dedicated diabetes care team, including pharmacy support
• Conduct comprehensive consultations, develop individualized care plans, and guide patients through lifestyle changes
• Work closely with referring providers and specialists in a truly integrated system
• Enjoy predictable, weekday hours (Mon–Fri, 8:00 AM – 4:30 PM)—no nights, no weekends

This is medicine the way it was meant to be practiced—patient-centered, team-based, and mission-driven.

Federal Retirement Plan:

• VA employees are covered by the Federal Employees Retirement System (FERS). FERS is a three-tiered retirement plan composed of 1) Social Security benefits, 2) FERS-RAE basic benefits (pension), and 3) Thrift Savings Plan (TSP) which is a 401K-type plan
• How is the pension funded? VA employees automatically contribute 4.4% of their salary each pay period and the VA contributes 12.2% of the employee’s salary each pay period for a total annual contribution percentage equal to 16.6% of the employee’s salary
• Similar to the 401(k) savings plans widely available in the private sector, the TSP allows employees to tax defer a portion of their income each year, subject to the requirements of the Internal Revenue Service. For calendar year 2025, employees under the age of 50 may contribute up to $23,500, while those over age 50 are eligible to make catch-up contributions that allow them to defer up to $31,000.
• The Federal Government also provides an automatic basic contribution (1% of salary) and up to 4% of salary in matching contributions, depending on the amount of the employee contribution
• For retired military personnel, these benefits are in addition to full monthly retirement pay or pension
• In addition to FERS, VA provides health care insurance coverage for retired personnel
• Disability Retirement
• Employees are vested in a federal pension after only 5 years service
