Medical School Initiative To Focus On Veterans’ Disabilities

Now, the Association of American Medical Colleges and the American Association of Osteopathic Medicine are teaming together to make sure that future medical students know more about these two common war-related health issues so that our disabled veterans receive the best care possible after their return home. The initiative solidifies the two associations’ commitment to researching both PTSD and TBI, as well as a new commitment to stressing the issue about the two disabilities in schools.

Obama closed by reiterating that the nation has a responsibility to care for the returning veterans and their families – and that by studying and researching PTSD and TBI, medical students can do their part.
