First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a training program for VA doctors to improve how they care for Veterans with Long-COVID. The training focuses on listening to patients, building a shared understanding of the condition, and creating a personalized care plan. About 348 Veterans and their doctors will take part to see if this approach leads to better communication and health outcomes.
