According to VA, Veterans seen by culturally informed providers reported they were more satisfied with their visit and, therefore, more comfortable seeking and sharing information about their health care needs. Providers will receive one hour of Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME) accreditation for completing the military culture training.
