Learning Outcomes
At the end of this presentation, attendees will be able to:
1. Discuss how the Complex Exposure Threats Center of Excellence (CETCE) bolsters the Veterans Affairs’(VA’s) ability to address Veterans' novel and complex exposure needs by focusing on targeted cohorts to stem new Veteran health discoveries. Specifically, how in-depth assessments of a subset of individuals will expand VA’s clinical knowledge and ability to respond to complex and emerging threats.
2. Identify the four current targeted military exposure cohorts of interest for the CETCE.
3. Describe how the CETCE has successfully built upon existing WRIISC expertise to offer specialized tertiary clinical evaluations and treatment recommendations to Veterans from targeted military exposure cohorts using its comprehensive, standardized clinical process.
4. Summarize how the CETCE meets VA research needs by focusing on complex exposure cohorts of interest and how it seeks to aid all Veterans by establishing foundational scientific relationships between military environmental exposures and physiologic responses.
5. Understand how CETCE’s education mission supports VA evidence-based communications through the dissemination of detailed clinical plans, exposure cohort updates, and evolving information about symptoms and healing for targeted hazardous exposures of Veterans.
