Military Social Work: How to Interpret and Decipher Military Experience During the Assessment Process (Webinar)
May 18, 2017 - 12:00pm to 1:00pm

The information provided in this webinar will provide participants with a guide to follow when encountering patients with a military service history.
This course is offered online. Information regarding how to access the course will be provided one week prior to the course date.Registration for this course is closed. Visit the CE Course Catalog for more offerings.
