In support of improving the overall C&P disability examination process, DMA works jointly with VHA EES to develop and update web-based training courses. The courses are developed through a collaborative effort with clinical, legal, policy, and administrative subject matter experts, and designed to reflect current practice standards and required outcomes for ratable C&P disability examinations. All DMA web-based training courses are accredited and can be accessed on the VA Talent Management System (TMS) and the TRAIN Learning Network.

VHA has a mandatory certification requirement for all clinicians designated to perform disability examinations. All clinicians must complete a designated series of specific, mandatory training modules and post-tests that are developed and approved by DMA. VHA Fee Basis and non-VHA contract providers are held to the same training and certification standards and requirements.

Information on certification requirements and certification registration can be accessed within VA's internal network on the DMA Training page.
