Such training must be updated by the VA at least once a year.The VA must annually report on (1) the training it provides, and (2) any plans to expand and update such training.In providing assistance with such claims related to military sexual trauma, the VA must obtain the service medical record of the claimant and, if there is not credible supporting evidence of a military sexual trauma in the record, obtain the service personnel record of the claimant.Additionally, the VA must report to Congress regarding (1) sensitivity training required for health care professionals (including schedulers) who are contracted under a VA pilot program to perform examinations of veterans who make claims related to military sexual trauma, and (2) the VA’s plan to improve such training and ensure veterans are not retraumatized during such an examination.
