VABHS will continue to identify mechanisms to further disseminate and enhance this programming, particularly in rural areas, where there is a shortage of faculty development programming. 2 We will continue to assess the impact of these presentations on many factors, including patient safety and veteran satisfaction with their health care. We will also seek to understand how many total participants attend each presentation, as we currently have data only from participants who completed the satisfaction survey.
We invite faculty members from all VA AMCs and training sites to attend future presentations. Information about upcoming presentations is disseminated across multiple VA listservs; you can also e-mail the authors to receive notification of future presentations.
