A recent White House initiative proposes to expand the study of veterans’ health care issues – such as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and traumatic brain injury (TBI) – at America’s medical schools. Proposed by First Lady Michelle Obama and Dr. Jill Biden, the Joining Forces initiative will provide much-needed medical support to veterans nationwide.
The Joining Forces initiative will unite with the Association of American Medical Colleges, the American Association of Colleges of Osteopathic Medicine, and 130 schools and research facilities to leverage missions in research, clinical care, and education, training America’s doctors to meet the unique needs of military officers and veterans.
Advances in the diagnosis, treatment, and understanding of brain injury and PTSD are the main goal of the initiative, which seeks to move medical science forward in the same way that America has led the world for over 200 years. As the Marks & Harrison statements says, “We look forward to disabled veterans across Virginia and the rest of the country reaping the benefits of research that will one day mitigate, reverse, or cure many disabilities.
If you have suffered a brain injury because of another person’s negligence or wrongdoing, please contact the experienced Virginia brain injury attorneys at Kalfus & Nachman today for a free case evaluation.
