ANNOUNCEMENTS |
In addition to providing research and clinical services, WRIISC’s Military Exposure education mission provides free training to Veterans and health care providers (both VA and non-VA), plus other government agencies, and community providers to ensure providers are trained on topics related to the health outcomes of military exposures.
Veterans have unique health concerns which may not exist within other populations. As a result, Providers who see and treat Veterans need a clinical understanding of the challenges Veterans increasingly face from potentially “toxic” military and deployment-related environmental exposures. Veterans and Congress often report the need for their VA and community providers to be more educated about these exposures. The VA is uniquely qualified to care for Veterans with health concerns related to potentially toxic exposures. All VA Providers should consider military and deployment exposures as core competencies. WRIISC recognizes this as imperative and in conjunction with VA Health Outcomes of Military Exposures (HOME) office has created a comprehensive best practice curricular with content focused on key exposure and other clinical deployment health topics. If you have difficulty in acccessing a training, please contact njrwriiscedteam@va.gov
