TBI Examiner – Charleston, South Carolina

Overview

Frontera Search Partners is recruiting a physician to serve as a TBI Examiner in Charleston, South Carolina, providing structured Traumatic Brain Injury disability evaluations for U.S. Veterans.

This is a part-time opportunity for a physician who wants a consistent three-day-per-week schedule without taking on an ongoing patient panel. The work centers on comprehensive clinical assessments and documentation related to Veterans’ disability claims rather than ongoing treatment.

The examiner provides an independent clinical assessment; disability determinations are made separately through the VA claims process.
