Catalog description

A course designed for the health care professional student, which will provide clinically relevant and evidence-based methodologies about the assessment, evaluation, and treatment specifically within VA and DoD patient populations. Treatment options from least invasive to most invasive will be discussed. We will explore behavioral approaches, pharmacotherapy, procedural techniques and the integrative options, leading to an appreciation of the various disciplines providing care. We will also discuss special populations with the VA/DoD that include TBI, geriatric care, amputee, PTSD, and depression, which will allow the practitioner to understand and appreciate the management of pain within this patient base. This course will be a general overview of what to expect with a VA/DoD facility, the culture, and the chiropractors role within these settings.
