This is a consensus study in response to Public Law 117-289. The committee will undertake a comprehensive review of the Department of Veterans Affairs protocols for examinations of individuals who submit claims for mental and physical conditions linked to military sexual trauma (MST) and the training and credentials of those performing the examinations. This is a congressionally mandated National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine consensus study and is not being led by or staffed by VA staff.
