Put DocVA on your desk. The Patient Access and Scheduling course, the resume signals and the interview track all follow the field this agency actually staffs, and the application desk keeps the six steps in one place. Not a hiring promise.

What they appear to look for

Philippines eligibility is stated on the official site. Still verify the live opening.
