VHA TCF Biomedical Engineer Announcement 2024

See attached

I would like to make you aware of an exciting opportunity for graduating Biomedical Engineers. The postings for the VA Biomedical Engineer Technical Career Field (TCF) positions will be going live late February to mid-March. This is a preliminary announcement to give students time to prepare and I will send you another reminder when the posting goes live on USAJOBS. 

                 

The TCF program is a national workforce development program within the Department of Veterans Affairs, the aim of which is to help replenish technical staff in critically identified positions. Individuals selected follow a formal training plan for two years during which they are trained, coached, and supervised by a preceptor. Preceptors are selected annually, through an extensive application process, for their technical expertise, commitment to training, and the suitability of their facility as a training location. Selectees will be required to sign Mobility, Training, and Continued Service Agreements. 
 
Job duties for the Biomedical Engineering TCFs include evaluating medical equipment, managing the medical equipment maintenance program, and coordinating new medical technology implementations. Throughout the training program, the selectee will develop abilities to effectively support and advance patient care by applying both engineering and managerial skills to healthcare technology. While developing these skills, the selectee will receive assignments to prepare for higher-level management and leadership responsibilities. Promotion potential exists to the highest levels within the Biomedical (Clinical) Engineering career field. Career advancement can take TCF graduates to all regions of the country and toward numerous healthcare leadership roles. 

 

I have also included a flyer to share with students! The flyer lists all locations that will be looking for TCF Biomedical Engineers for the FY24 period. Thanks in advance for your assistance spreading the word about this great program. 

 

There will be two VHA TCF Biomedical Engineer Info-sessions that will give you an overview of the program and some time for Q&A. Here are the details for both calls:
