Optometrist: Serve Veterans and Make Thousands Per Month
Efficient, High-Pay Contractor Opportunity
Contract with our leading clinician-owned and led health company today! The Warrior Vets Medical Services team provides exemplary optometry services.

We pay up to $150 per hour; you will receive compensation for each evaluation. We remit payment within 45 days of encounter documentation in our user-friendly records system.
Typical Appointments
In-person appointments consist of general optometry evaluations. Evaluations are performed once per veteran and typically take 60 minutes. There are no ongoing treatment needs for these veterans; it is a one-time encounter.

Training and Experience

Requirements
- Unrestricted medical license in residing state (board certified or board eligible preferred, but not required)
- 1+ year of clinical work experience
- Strong interpersonal written and oral communication skills
