“Ever serve in the military?” Large numbers of Veterans receive medical care from community providers who don’t know that they are Veterans.
The health implications of military service are important for a 63-year-old man who presents with multiple myeloma and Parkinson’s disease; a 41-year-old woman with chronic fatigue and myalgia; and a 30-year-old patient with memory loss and panic attacks. These symptoms could be related to deployments in Vietnam, Iraq, and/or Afghanistan.
VHA TRAIN offers A Perspective for Veteran Care, a one-hour webinar that covers items commonly found in Veteran patients such as military culture, suicide awareness and prevention, military sexual trauma, post-traumatic stress disorder, traumatic brain injury and the importance of taking a brief military service and deployment history on any Veteran presenting for care.
