My Patient is a Veteran
Foundations of Veteran Health and Well-being
In this series we will explore the foundations of Veteran health and well-being, as well as engaging with this patient population.
"My Patient is a Veteran" is a project jointly developed by uOttawa's Department of Family Medicine, Queen’s University and the City of Ottawa’s Veterans Task Force with the primary objective of developing content that addresses socially accountable educational gaps.
