This bill aims to improve the reimbursement of continuing professional education expenses for full-time health care professionals of the Department of Veterans Affairs. It amends Section 7411 of title 38, United States Code, to establish a new, standardized reimbursement structure. Under the revised provisions, the Secretary of Veterans Affairs is required to reimburse eligible professionals, including physicians, nurses, and psychologists, up to $2,000 per year for their continuing education costs. This applies to various roles appointed under sections 7401(1) and 7401(3) of title 38. Furthermore, the bill grants the Secretary the authority to adjust these dollar amounts over time, with the stipulation that the reimbursement cannot be set to less than $2,000 per year for any individual.
