On January 11, 2017, Shulkin was nominated by President-elect Donald Trump as United States Secretary of Veterans Affairs.{{cite news | url=https://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2017/01/11/509318144/trump-announces-david-shulkin-as-pick-for-secretary-of-veterans-affairs | author=Domonoske, C. | title=Trump Announces David Shulkin As Pick For Secretary Of Veterans Affairs | date=January 11, 2017}} Trump, who had first considered five others, nominated Shulkin after a recommendation by Ambassador David M. Friedman. On February 13, 2017, the United States Senate unanimously confirmed Shulkin as the U.S. Secretary of Veterans Affairs in a 100–0 vote,{{cite news | url=https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2017/02/13/veterans-affairs-david-shulkin-senate-confirmation/97849136/ | title=Senate confirms David Shulkin as Veterans Affairs secretary |last=Slack | first=Donovan |date=February 13, 2017 | newspaper=USA Today |access-date=February 13, 2017 }} making him the only cabinet nominee by President Trump to have unanimous consent.{{cite web|last1=Andrews|first1=Wilson|title=How Each Senator Voted on Trump's Cabinet and Administration Nominees|url=https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2017/01/31/us/politics/trump-cabinet-confirmation-votes.html|work=The New York Times|access-date=March 28, 2017|date=March 20, 2017}} He was the first non-veteran to hold the position.{{cite web|last1=Lawrence|first1=Quil|title=Senate Confirms First Nonveteran To Lead VA|url=https://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2017/02/13/515036795/senate-confirms-first-non-veteran-to-lead-va|publisher=NPR|access-date=February 16, 2017|language=en|date=February 13, 2017}} In this position, Shulkin oversaw the government's second-largest agency, with over 350,000 employees and 1,700 facilities. Shulkin hoped to increase reliance on private health care for routine procedures, like hearing aids, so the department could focus on its core mission of caring for the wounded.

For President Trump's address to a joint session of Congress on February 28, 2017, Shulkin was the designated survivor in the line of succession of the president.{{Cite web|url=https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/va-secretary-david-shulkin-chosen-designated-survivor/story?id=45815247|title=VA Secretary David Shulkin chosen as designated survivor|website=ABC News|language=en|access-date=February 4, 2020}}

In April 2017, Shulkin had every VA hospital and clinic begin publicly posting quality data and wait times. He wanted to provide those with a less than honorable military discharge with free mental health care.

In May 2017, behind closed doors, Shulkin asked his VA healthcare directors to get rid of in-house optometry and audiology services to veterans—instead farming out those services to private community care.{{cite web|last1=Krause|first1=Benjamin|title=Shulkin Says Get Rid Of VA Optometry, There Is A 'LensCrafters On Every Corner'|url=https://www.disabledveterans.org/2017/05/04/shulkin-says-get-rid-va-optometry-lenscrafters-every-corner/|website=disabledveterans.org|date=May 4, 2017 |access-date=February 15, 2018}}

In early July 2017, Shulkin announced that any settlement with an employee will require the approval of the undersecretary, assistant secretary or equivalent senior-level official. This effectively stopped all settlements.{{cite journal|last1=D'Agostino|first1=Debra|title=Nothing to celebrate: New efforts do nothing to fix mismanagement at the VA [Commentary]|journal=Federal Times |date=November 9, 2017|url=https://www.federaltimes.com/opinions/2017/11/09/nothing-to-celebrate-new-efforts-do-nothing-to-fix-mismanagement-at-the-va-commentary/|access-date=February 15, 2018}} Lawyer Debra D'Agostino said that this will increase litigation against the VA and taxpayers will be paying for the VA's defense of itself and any illegal actions of its leadership. D'Agostino also said that federal agencies found liable for discrimination or whistleblower retaliation are not penalized as severely as private companies as compensatory damages are limited and there are no punitive damages available.

On March 28, 2018, Trump announced on Twitter that Shulkin had been fired{{cite web|url=https://www.nytimes.com/aponline/2018/03/28/us/politics/ap-us-veterans-affairs-shulkin.html|title=Trump Ousts Shulkin From Veterans Affairs, Taps His Doctor|work=The New York Times|date=March 28, 2018|access-date=May 8, 2020|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180330212357/https://www.nytimes.com/aponline/2018/03/28/us/politics/ap-us-veterans-affairs-shulkin.html|archive-date=March 30, 2018}} and would be replaced by appointee Robert Wilkie in the interim.

Following his dismissal in March 2018, Shulkin highlighted the political pressure from the Trump White House to dismantle VA healthcare and send veterans to the private sector. In a New York Times editorial, Shulkin warned that "privatization is a political issue aimed at rewarding select people and companies with profits, even if it undermines care for veterans."{{cite news|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2018/03/28/opinion/shulkin-veterans-affairs-privatization.html|title=David J.

In September 2017, The Washington Post reported that Shulkin spent nearly half his time on a July 2017 international trip to Europe—which was paid for by taxpayers—sightseeing and shopping with his wife, Merle Bari.{{cite news|title=VA chief took in Wimbledon, river cruise on European work trip: Wife's expenses covered by taxpayers|url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/investigations/va-chief-took-in-wimbledon-river-cruise-on-european-work-trip/2017/09/29/c1f17046-a458-11e7-8c37-e1d99ad6aa22_story.html|newspaper=The Washington Post|access-date=September 29, 2017|date=September 29, 2017}} Shulkin later told The Washington Post that he did "nothing inappropriate" on the trip, that the trip was taken primarily to attend a Five Eyes conference, and that personal visits to "various historic and other sites in London and in Denmark" were done "on nights, on weekends, the day before the conference started" and were "paid for by me".{{Cite news|url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/post-live/wp/2017/11/09/transcript-veterans-in-america-a-conversation-with-va-secretary-david-shulkin/|title=Transcript: Veterans in America – A Conversation with VA Secretary David Shulkin| date=November 9, 2017 |newspaper=The Washington Post|language=en-US|access-date=January 10, 2018 }}

In February 2018, a report by Michael J. Missal, the Inspector General of Veterans Affairs, concluded that Shulkin's staff had misled both the agency's ethics officials and the public about the nature of the eleven-day trip.{{cite report |author=Office of Investigations |date=February 14, 2018 |title=Administrative Investigation – VA Secretary and Delegation Travel to Europe |url=https://www.va.gov/oig/pubs/VAOIG-17-05909-106.pdf |publisher=Department of Veterans Affairs Office of Inspector General |access-date=May 5, 2020 |quote=After a thorough investigation, OIG's findings included (1) the Chief of Staff's alteration of a document and misrepresentations to ethics officials caused Secretary Shulkin's wife to be approved as an 'invitational traveler,' which authorized VA to pay her travel costs (although only airfare was claimed); (2) Secretary Shulkin improperly accepted a gift of Wimbledon tickets and related hospitality; (3) a VA employee's time was misused as a personal travel concierge to plan tourist activities exceeding that necessary for security arrangements; and (4) travelers' documentation was inadequate to determine the trip's full costs to VA. The OIG did not assess the value of the trip to VA or determine whether the Europe travel, as conducted, was 'essential,' per VA policy. |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191225215831/https://www.va.gov/oig/pubs/VAOIG-17-05909-106.pdf|archive-date= December 25, 2019}}{{cite web |url=https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/white-house/watchdog-veterans-affairs-chief-david-shulkin-wrongly-took-wimbledon-tickets-n847986 |title=Watchdog: Aide to V.A. chief altered email to cover cost of Europe trip |work=NBC News |date=February 14, 2018 |language=en |access-date=June 13, 2019}} The report said that Shulkin's chief of staff, Vivieca Wright Simpson, had altered emails and had made false statements to make it look like Shulkin was receiving a Danish government award to justify his wife accompanying him on the taxpayer-funded trip. The Veterans Administration had paid over $4,300 for her airfare. The Inspector General said that the overall expense for the trip was at least $122,334. The report also said that Shulkin had inappropriately accepted tickets to Wimbledon worth thousands of dollars and had directed an aide to act as a "personal travel concierge" for the trip. The Inspector General referred his concerns about the potential criminality of the actions undertaken by Shulkin's chief of staff to the Department of Justice, which declined to prosecute.{{cite news |url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/veterans-affairs-chief-shulkin-staff-misled-ethics-officials-about-european-trip-report-finds/2018/02/14/f7fbc020-0c3a-11e8-8b0d-891602206fb7_story.html |title=Veterans Affairs chief Shulkin, staff misled ethics officials about European trip, report finds |last=Rein |first=Lisa |date=February 12, 2018 |newspaper=The Washington Post |access-date=February 12, 2018 |language=en-US |issn=0190-8286}}

In an interview with National Public Radio the day after his dismissal, Shulkin said that the Secretary of Veterans Affairs has been invited to this conference for decades and that he gave three different lectures at this particular conference. Shulkin reiterated that the personal trips were taken outside the time of the conference was held. He said that the only expense incurred by his wife that was paid by the federal government was for her economy class airfare, which had been approved in advance. When the airfare expense was later questioned, Shulkin said he reimbursed the federal government for the cost. He also said that prior to his dismissal the Trump Administration had forbidden him from speaking to the media to respond to the accusations publicly.King, Noel (August 27, 2020).

The VA Inspector General report found no evidence that Shulkin was ever aware of the actions alleged to have been taken by the Chief of Staff. Furthermore, an internal VA Committee that reviewed the matter concluded that "there was no indication of fraud, misrepresentation or bad faith", on the part of Shulkin.{{cite book |last=Shulkin |first=David J. |date=2019 |title=It Shouldn't Be This Hard to Serve Your Country:Our Broken Government and the Plight of Veterans |publisher=Public Affairs Publications |page=285,320 |isbn=978-1541762657}}
