Plain-English summary Congressional Research Service

Department of Veterans Affairs Continuing Professional Education Modernization Act or the VA CPE Modernization Act

This bill modifies the program under which the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) reimburses specified full-time health care professionals for continuing professional education expenses.

Under current law, only board-certified physicians and dentists are eligible for such reimbursement. The bill expands the program to require reimbursement for various specified full-time health care professionals (e.g., registered nurses) and increases the amount available for a physician or dentist. Additionally, the bill removes the requirement that an individual be board-certified to receive reimbursement.

The VA may adjust the amounts available based on inflation.
