VA Augusta joins VA health care facilities nationwide in recognizing the contributions of VA faculty and academic partners during VA Health Professions Education Week (March 13-17, 2023).

VA Augusta trains about 800 HPTs from 111 institutions every year. Offering training in more than 40 disciplines, VA Augusta educates physicians, nurses, social workers, psychologists,

physical and occupational therapists, and more in the latest evidence-based medicine.

Academic affiliations also play an important role in expanding diversity among VA Augusta health care providers. Over 34,000 of VA’s health professional trainees (HPTs) come from Minority

Serving Institutions nationwide, such as Hispanic Serving Institutions and Historically Black Colleges and Universities. In 2022, VA Augusta began partnering with Morehouse College of

Medicine, part of historic HBCU Morehouse College in Atlanta.
