Military Healthcare Providers
The medical, surgical, and psychiatric casualties of soldiers serving in Iraq and Afghanistan will receive care from a broad group of clinicians working in concert with each other. The majority of these soldiers will find themselves returning to the United States with conditions that are treated in military facilities, VA Hospitals, or civilian treatment centers. It is vital that clinicians have an understanding of the military system in which their patient has served, the military medical services available, or the potential impact of medical decisions on the service member's future military career.
