This bill mandates the Director of the Defense Health Agency to submit a report within 270 days on the feasibility of establishing a pilot program. This program would create a behavioral neurology fellowship to provide specialized training for treating traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) in members of the Armed Forces and veterans, with a particular emphasis on the behavioral aspects of TBI. The report must evaluate the feasibility of the pilot program meeting specific requirements, including selecting two individuals for a one-year clinical fellowship. Eligible fellows must hold a Doctor of Medicine or Osteopathy and have completed a residency in neurology or psychiatry. The program aims to prepare fellows for board certification in behavioral neurology and neuropsychiatry, and the report must also assess potential locations and ensure the fellowship's accreditation.
