Bill Overview
Analyzed Economic Effects
1 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 0 costs, 0 mixed.
New VA pay grades for medical physicists
If enacted, VA would add therapeutic and diagnostic medical physicists to its appointment authority and create job grades for them within VA pay rules. To qualify, you would need a VA-approved post‑graduate clinical training program and board certification in your specialty. This could mean clearer, sometimes higher pay for VA-employed medical physicists and for those providing care under VA agreements. The bill does not set exact pay amounts. VA would have to report to Congress within one year on pay effects and any change in Department costs.
