Employment is contingent on meeting Tier 2 moderate-risk, non-sensitive suitability requirements and completing fingerprinting, background adjudication, credentialing, privileging, PIV issuance, system access, occupational-health review, training, and facility-access requirements. Candidates must also complete required VA orientation, EHR, privacy, information-security, annual training, occupational-health, suitability, and facility-access requirements.
