We may be relocating to the area and want to know to be prepared for any challenges. For example, I’ve heard some VA’s are really strict about referrals.

VA's are the same everywhere. Fair to partly shitty. I'm not saying its all bad, but other than the small percentage of docs and nurses who love It. There is a reason many stay with the USPHS instead of having or working in a practice on the outside making about 3 times more than are venerable 800mg ibuprofen dispensaries.

Hello all,

I had a quick question

Had a call with audit leaders last week and were told that they haven't finalized the office building and they will get possession of the new building in Pune only by Jan 2023.

Currently they just have the ITS with the seating capacity of 30 people.

Now for audit they want us to go to office 2 days every week. How are we supposed to do that when they don't even have an office? But they are still adamant to get us back to office location by June 1.
