Because healthcare students will likely treat veterans at some time during their career, it is important they gain exposure to working with veterans during their professional degree programs.\nCase Presentation: This case report presents the development of an annual Veteran-Centered Care Conference (VCCC) at the Massachusetts College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences. The VCCC included a faculty librarian who led a multi-disciplinary team that planned and coordinated each event. Speakers and participants included university students and faculty from multiple healthcare disciplines, as well as representatives from the VA, veterans\u2019 advocacy groups, and community members (including many veterans). The purpose of the VCCC was to raise awareness of the healthcare needs of contemporary veterans. The goal of the VCCC was to improve healthcare provided to veterans by enhancing civilian health professions students\u2019 knowledge of the potential effects of military service on a person\u2019s health.\nConclusion: After four successful events covering such topics as PTSD, specific health concerns of women veterans, substance use disorder, and homelessness, the VCCC was canceled, primarily due to low pre-registration. Examples of lessons learned and future possibilities for the VCCC and the patient-centered care conference format are discussed. This report is of particular importance given the many years the United States has been at war in the Middle East and the recent withdrawal of troops from Afghanistan.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.5195\/jmla.2022.1491","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,12,8]],"date-time":"2022-12-08T14:55:24Z","timestamp":1670511324000},"page":"365-371","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["The veteran-centered care conferences: interprofessional education and community involvement facilitated by the health sciences librarian"],"prefix":"10.5195","volume":"110","author":[{"given":"Karen S","family":"Alcorn","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sarah K.","family":"McCord","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sheila M.","family":"Seed","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Tammy","family":"Gravel","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Amanda M.","family":"Morrill","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"3176","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,12,8]]},"container-title":["Journal of the Medical Library Association"],"original-title":[],"link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/jmla.pitt.edu\/ojs\/jmla\/article\/download\/1491\/2124","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/jmla.pitt.edu\/ojs\/jmla\/article\/download\/1491\/2125","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/jmla.pitt.edu\/ojs\/jmla\/article\/download\/1491\/2126","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/jmla.pitt.edu\/ojs\/jmla\/article\/download\/1491\/2127","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/jmla.pitt.edu\/ojs\/jmla\/article\/download\/1491\/2124","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2022,12,8]],"date-time":"2022-12-08T14:55:24Z","timestamp":1670511324000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/jmla.pitt.edu\/ojs\/jmla\/article\/view\/1491"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2022,12,8]]},"references-count":0,"journal-issue":{"issue":"3","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,12,8]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.5195\/jmla.2022.1491","relation":{},"ISSN":["1558-9439","1536-5050"],"issn-type":[{"value":"1558-9439","type":"electronic"},{"value":"1536-5050","type":"print"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2022,12,8]]}}}
