Plain-English Summary

The Department of Defense would study whether it's possible to create a training program for doctors specializing in brain and nervous system disorders, with the goal of better treating military members and veterans who have suffered traumatic brain injuries. The Defense Health Agency would report back to Congress with findings on whether this pilot program is feasible and what it would take to set it up. This would help address a significant health need among service members and veterans dealing with combat-related brain injuries.
