Description Military personnel returning home often face service-related conditions and challenges that impact their quality of life and that of their families. While most veterans qualify for Veterans Affairs (VA) services, over 83% use both VA and non-VA services. Not all clinicians are equipped to provide culturally sensitive care, so the service members, veterans, and their families (SMVF) population often navigates a healthcare landscape that fails to fully address their unique physical, mental, and social challenges.We surveyed 4,844 family medicine physicians in the U.S., with 1,194 responding, showed that prior training in veteran care significantly improves their knowledge and confidence in treating these patients.The Veteran Ready Healthcare Clinician (VRHC) program, funded by the Hearst Foundation, includes online modules, virtual clinical sessions with case studies, and a cumulative observed structured clinical exam with simulated patient interactions. Over 200 residents and physicians have been trained, with 120 completing certification. Insights from the program highlight how focused education can enhance clinician readiness to meet the complex needs of the veteran population.
