Mobile Behavioral Health Examiner – Nationwide Travel

Overview

This Mobile Behavioral Health Examiner opportunity offers a unique PRN schedule for psychologists who enjoy travel, flexibility, and variety in their clinical work.

Rather than being assigned to a single clinic, providers support Veteran disability evaluations wherever coverage is needed. Assignments may include mobile medical units, correctional facilities, homebound Veteran examinations, temporary clinic coverage, and other special projects throughout the country.

The role focuses exclusively on behavioral health evaluations for adult Veterans. There is no therapy panel, no medication management, and no ongoing treatment responsibilities. The work is structured, documentation-driven, and ideal for providers seeking flexible supplemental income while maintaining control over their availability.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

This role offers a level of flexibility and variety that is uncommon in traditional clinic-based positions. Providers can support Veterans in underserved locations, assist with mobile initiatives, and help fill critical coverage needs throughout the country.

Because of the travel requirements and unique nature of the work, compensation is typically higher than many traditional clinic-based opportunities.
