VHA Affiliations
Partnership Councils This Veterans Health Administration (VHA) Handbook outlines the procedural requirements pertaining to establishing, administering and maintaining Affiliation Partnership Councils and associated subcommittees or sub-councils (e.g., Medical Education Sub-council).
VHA Directive 2004-066 defines policy for educational affiliation
agreements covering training programs in clinical settings. The directive contains
