In this edition of Veterans Affairs & Military Medicine OUTLOOK, we look the U.S. military's ongoing fight against COVID-19; interview the director of the Defense Health Agency, Lt. Get. Ronald J. Place, MD; examine how VA and MHS nurses have responded to the challenges of the pandemic. In our ongoing look at VA Research, we look at how to deliver effective treatments, where veterans are; learn about precision medicine in mental health; and, finally, we're invited inside to see the incredible work being performed by the VA's Center for Neurorestoration and Neurotechnology, and how they are healing the brains and bodies of veterans. We wrap up with stories on DMLSS supply chain modernization, innovative technologies that support personalized health care, and the impact that the Korean War has had on battlefield medicine.
