To direct the Director of the Defense Health Agency to submit to Congress a report on the feasibility of establishing a pilot program that establishes a behavioral neurology fellowship program to provide training opportunities with respect to treating members of the Armed Forces and veterans with traumatic brain injuries.

This bill would require the Director of the Defense Health Agency to send a report to the congressional defense committees within 270 days after it becomes law. The report would study whether it is feasible to create a pilot fellowship program in behavioral neurology to train doctors to treat service members and veterans with traumatic brain injuries. The report would evaluate possible locations for the program. It would also assess whether the program could include two fellows in a 1-year clinical fellowship, open to doctors who have finished a neurology or psychiatry residency, without requiring board certification, and preparing fellows to sit for a board certification exam.
