Ghost RX is hiring a Board-Certified Family Practice Physician for a 52-week locum tenens assignment at the Tyler VA Outpatient Clinic in Tyler, Texas - part of the VA North Texas Health Care System (VANTHCS), the second-busiest VA system in the nation, alongside the Dallas VA Medical Center, Sam Rayburn Memorial Veterans Center, and clinics in Bonham, Fort Worth, Garland, and Plano. As a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) and trusted federal staffing partner, Ghost RX offers physicians the rare combination of a stable Monday-Friday outpatient schedule, no overnight call, no weekend coverage, and the deep professional satisfaction that comes from caring for those who served.

In this role, you will deliver comprehensive primary care to an adult and geriatric veteran population within the Patient Aligned Care Team (PACT) model. You will manage the full continuum of family medicine - acute illness, chronic disease management (diabetes, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, COPD, and mental health disorders), preventive screening, and behavioral health integration - while collaborating with an experienced multidisciplinary VA team using the CPRS/VistA electronic health record. The position emphasizes Health Risk Assessment, evidence-based clinical reminders, and goal setting for prevention and chronic disease - driving better outcomes, improved care coordination, and appropriate resource utilization for the veterans you serve.

Ghost RX provides end-to-end federal credentialing support, comprehensive malpractice coverage with tail, paid federal holidays, paid time off, medical/dental/vision benefits, and a dedicated recruiter who walks you through every step of onboarding. If you are a Family Medicine physician who values mission-driven work, work-life balance, and a long-term assignment with one of the nation's most respected healthcare systems, we want to hear from you. Veterans and military spouses are strongly encouraged to apply (VEVRAA-protected).
