Clinical Training

Specific training has been included below for select disciplines within the COPD CARE Service. These training modules are intended to support diffusion of the service to Veterans Affairs hospitals across the country. Prior to beginning training, please ensure that you have contacted a member of the COPD CARE team to coordinate implementation and effective evaluation of the program.

The training below has been organized by discipline. It is recommended that the online training titled Service Background is reviewed first, as well as the COPD CARE Service Document, to ensure that program structure and objectives are clear.
