Working within the bustling setting of VA medical centers is one of the most influential players in advancing health care for Veterans-and just may be one of VA’s best kept secrets.The designated education officer (DEO), typically known as the associate chief of staff for education, is a leader at each VA facility who is responsible for the training and education of health professions trainees. DEOs are essential to VA’s statutory education mission, coordinating affiliation agreements with medical schools, universities, and colleges, and overseeing training programs from more than 60 clinical disciplines.
