PERAC is recruiting Massachusetts board certified cardiologists, oncologists, pulmonary specialists, and orthopedic specialists to examine individuals who have applied for or are receiving disability benefits from one of the Commonwealth's 105 retirement systems. Physicians are asked to perform objective evaluations to determine disability, permanency, and causality. Physicians may also be asked to evaluate disability retirees to determine if they are able to be restored to service.
