Description:
Since service members and their families seek healthcare and other services across both military and civilian sectors, all healthcare providers can benefit from becoming familiar with military culture and its potential impact on service delivery. In Actionable Intel: Essentials in Military Cultural Competence, participants will engage in an interactive, self-paced asynchronous training introducing five key themes healthcare and other professionals need to know about military culture. Videos of real service members and veterans help define and highlight major principles. Content is linked to action by offering culturally competent questions that can be incorporated into work with military connected individuals. By the end of the training, participants will have a high level overview of the United States military, its associated culture, and culturally relevant questions to enhance their work in supporting service members and their families.
