In 1997, the Veterans Health Administration constituted the Associated Health Professions Education Review Committee to provide recommendations for its associated health training programs. The Committee recommended that support for the 54,000 trainees in over 45 non-physician disciplines that train every year in VA facilities be allocated based on patient-focused criteria that emphasize the VA's healthcare priorities. Such priorities include accessible primary care, geriatrics, treatment of substance abuse, chronic care, and rehabilitation. The Committee also placed a high priority on disciplines that demonstrate inter-professional strategies for healthcare delivery and training. Educational institutions and disciplines that address these needs in innovative ways will find opportunities for clinical training in VA settings.
1997年，退伍军人健康管理局成立了联合健康专业教育审查委员会，为其联合健康培训项目提供建议。该委员会建议，应根据以患者为中心的标准分配对每年在退伍军人事务部设施中接受培训的45个以上非医师学科的54,000名学员的支持，这些标准强调退伍军人事务部的医疗保健重点。这些重点包括可及的初级保健、老年医学、药物滥用治疗、慢性病护理和康复。该委员会还高度重视那些展示医疗服务和培训跨专业策略的学科。以创新方式满足这些需求的教育机构和学科将在退伍军人事务部环境中找到临床培训机会。
