As the nation’s largest provider of health professions education, VA trains more than 122,000 health care trainees annually in partnership with over 1,450 academic institutions. That includes placements in rural facilities like Iron Mountain VA in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, where trainees gain hands-on experience serving Veterans with unique health care needs.
