The James H. Quillen VA Medical Center in Johnson City, Tennessee is actively recruiting two full-time Urologists to join our growing Surgical Service. You’ll deliver comprehensive urologic care to Veterans — from prostate biopsies and cystoscopies to complex open, laparoscopic, and robotic surgeries — while taking equitable call with your partners. This is a true general urology practice that includes female urology, spinal cord injury patients, oncology, stone disease, and reconstructive cases. Enjoy a Monday-to-Friday schedule with rotational call, no private practice hassles, and one of the strongest federal compensation packages available, including recruitment bonus potential and EDRP up to $200k.

• Provide full-spectrum operative and non-operative urologic care for male and female Veterans, including spinal cord injury patients, covering the entire genitourinary tract.
• Perform clinic-based procedures (prostate biopsies, cystoscopies, vasectomies, circumcisions, etc.) and major surgeries including robotic/laparoscopic procedures, open renal surgery, urinary diversions, penile prosthesis/AUS, PCNL, ESWL, and endourology.
• Take fair-share call (weeknights, weekends, holidays) alongside other full-time urologists.
• Serve as the attending for all perioperative care of your patients and collaborate closely with primary care, oncology, SCI, and other services for seamless Veteran care.
• Participate in resident teaching (if desired), quality improvement, and tumor board — fellowship training is welcomed but not required.

• U.S. citizenship (non-citizens may be appointed when no qualified citizens are available) and proficiency in spoken and written English.
• Doctor of Medicine (MD) or Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine (DO) from an accredited institution.
• Current, full, and unrestricted license to practice medicine in any U.S. state, territory, or commonwealth.
