Many have asked the question: Just what do psychologists do? Why does the VA employ psychologists? And what added value do they bring to the healthcare arena? AVAPL is pleased to present these Fact Sheets, which will help to answer those questions and more. Approximately once per month, a new Fact Sheet will be added to this web site. You may want to print out these Fact Sheets or download them and send them via e-mail to your Chief of Staff, your Director, or anyone who might be wondering just what it is that psychologists do.
