Department of Veterans Affairs Medical Physicist Pay Cap Relief Act

This bill removes pay limits for two types of medical physicists working with veterans: therapeutic medical physicists (who specialize in radiation treatment) and diagnostic medical physicists (who specialize in imaging). It updates VA personnel rules to treat these roles like physicians and dentists for pay purposes, including adding them to pay tables, qualification standards, and grade structures. The bill directly affects VA-employed medical physicists in these specialties by allowing them to receive higher salaries previously restricted. Key provisions amend Title 38 to explicitly include "therapeutic medical physicist" and "diagnostic medical physicist" in all relevant pay and appointment sections.
