Overview

This Veteran Behavioral Health Evaluator in Montgomery, Alabama opportunity is for a licensed psychologist or psychiatrist who prefers structured, in-person assessment work with Veterans. The role requires coverage for two clinic days per week and centers on thorough behavioral health evaluations and timely documentation.
