Senator Tammy Baldwin introduces legislation to address VA medical staff shortage

Noted: ?The Veterans Affairs Health Workforce Enhancement Act will be enormously helpful in alleviating this critical physician shortage,? said Robert N. Golden, Dean of the School of Medicine and Public Health and Vice Chancellor of Medical Affairs at UW-Madison. ?By highlighting primary care and mental health, the Act focuses resources on those areas with the greatest need. Increasing the number of residency training opportunities through the VA system will provide great benefit to our veterans, and ultimately also improve access to care for all Americans.?
