(Veterans Health Initiative)

Veterans Health Initiative is a comprehensive program to recognize the connection between certain health effects and military service, to allow military medical history to be better documented, and to prepare health care providers to better serve their veteran patients.

Agent Orange

This course provides information to participants concerning long- term health consequences of exposure to Agent Orange and other herbicides used in Vietnam.

Chemical, Biological and Radiological Weapons

This Veteran Health Initiative provides essential information for health care providers about the Chemical, Biological, and Radiological weapons threat in the U.S. and abroad.

Cold Injury

This program provides information on the effects of cold injuries and the circumstances of their occurrence in the veteran population.

Former Prisoners of War

This program provides information on the kinds of treatment POWs experienced in the German, Pacific, Korean and Vietnam theaters of conflict.

Gulf War

This program provides information on the most common symptoms and diagnoses of Gulf War veterans, and the current programs established by the Department of Defense and the VA on behalf of Gulf War participants.

Hearing Impairment

This program provides information on hearing loss in veteran patients, including appropriate referrals, evaluations, guidance, and treatment for these patients.

Infectious Diseases of Southwest Asia

This course identifies endemic infectious diseases of Southwest Asia, Afghanistan, and Iraq, and describes long-term concerns, historical background, clinical findings, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention for these infections.

Military Sexual Trauma

Every day, VA clinicians care for women and men who suffer from physical and mental aftereffects of sexual harassment and sexual assault which occurred during military service.

Post Traumatic Stress Disorder

Many veterans with PTSD remain unrecognized and thus may not be receiving the treatment and support they need for this military related condition. Primary care staff can play a key role in identifying these patients and getting them the help they need.
