Basic Training: A Primer on Military Life and Culture for Health Care Providers and Trainees

Abstract

Active and retired military comprise about 10 percent of the nation's adult population. Most physicians will provide care for veterans and their families at some point during their professional careers. This tutorial is designed to enhance health care providers' and trainees' knowledge of military life and culture so that they may be better able to provide culturally competent care to service members, veterans, and their families. This resource will be a computer-based, highly generalizable, user-friendly interactive tutorial.
