Clinical Education and Training: Putting Clinical Knowledge into Practice
The GWVI-TF Clinical Education and Training effort focused on improving the VA’s ability to put critical clinical knowledge and expertise at the point of care. Where the Clinical Care work was aimed at synchronizing specialty and primary health care, this effort was in direct support, providing necessary clinical education, training, and subject matter expertise. The Veterans health Administration (VHA) Office of Public Health creates training modules now universally available online for patients and clinicians. Additionally, VA hosts exposure seminars to enhance clinician knowledge about the health impacts of various environmental exposures and publishes other resources to help primary care and specialty providers and collaborate and network to improve Gulf War health care.
Please provide your comments, questions, and suggestion on how we may improve the Clinical Education and Training section of the report.
