Abstract: This project will evaluate whether or not providers change their practice after receiving continuing education. Trained AHEC staff will provide continuing education (CE) for civilian primary care, mental and behavioral health, and other healthcare providers to improve the quality and cultural competency of the care they offer to veterans/service members and their families and will conduct an evaluation of those offerings. Two instruments will be used in the evaluation, including the CE evaluation results form and the CE evaluation follow-up form. These instruments will provide aggregate information about the providers trained and project activities and will assess through a follow-up survey whether a provider changed their practice after receiving the CE offering.
