These are common statements you'll hear from VA physicians here in Little Rock, Arkansas. "I finally have practice autonomy! I'm not being told "No" by my insurance companies controlling patient care." "I really enjoy teaching residents and fellows! I feel a renewed purpose in my career." "The paid time off is amazing, and Little Rock has been a great place to get out an enjoy my time." "Everyone has been so friendly." Many of you have rotated at a VA hospital. Here in Central Arkansas, our 551 bed twin facilities and 8 outreach clinics make us among the nation’s largest. We are well equipped with everything needed to provide the highest levels of interdisciplinary care. If you are an excellent clinician and care about our nations veterans, then we will be great fit together. If you send me a quick email or text I'll respond with more details and set up a brief call to answer any questions about our teams, workloads, comp & benefits, etc, etc.

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
