Eligibility, licensing, and location restrictions can change. Always confirm details on the source posting before applying.
Why this is worth applying to
Worth considering for clinicians who want to pivot into federal health policy, proposal writing, and AI-enabled technical communication, especially US citizens with strong writing and health-policy exposure. It is a poor fit for those seeking clinical practice, direct patient impact, or a fast entry-level transition.
Who should apply
Physicians, nurses, pharmacists, and healthcare graduates with health policy, quality improvement, informatics, or research writing experience who are US citizens, comfortable with generative-AI writing tools, and interested in CMS/Medicare/Medicaid program integrity and federal proposal work.
CV angle
Reframe clinical experience around written deliverables and analytical work: clinical documentation and charting rigor, quality improvement reports, committee and policy summaries, research manuscripts or grant writing, regulatory/accreditation submissions, and any payer, coding, or program-integrity exposure. Highlight stakeholder coordination across multidisciplinary teams, traceability of requirements to outcomes, and use of AI tools for drafting with editorial oversight.
Skills to highlight
- Technical and proposal writing
- Generative-AI writing assistants and editorial grounding
- Requirement traceability and document control
- Stakeholder and section-lead coordination
- Medicare/Medicaid program integrity knowledge
- Style guide and red-team incorporation
- Figure/table strategy and decision-ready reporting
- Health policy and regulatory analysis
Role summary
A mid-level technical/proposal writer and analyst at Peraton supporting the CMS FPS program, owning end-to-end authoring of vendor-list assessment packages and AI Tool Proof of Concept proposals for CMS, using generative-AI tools for drafting while applying senior editorial judgment and maintaining federal traceability and style standards.
