  • After you submit, you will be given the opportunity to affiliate with a VA Medical Center. If you are not doing work at a VA Medical center, answer "NO" and Submit.
  • The next page is the Learner's Menu. This page lists the courses you have chosen. The Learner menu also provides a number of Course Utilities designed to help you.
    • You may affiliate with another institution. The software will sum the requirements of both institutions so that you need not retake modules common to the requirements of both institutions.
