WASHINGTON D.C. — The American College of Preventive Medicine (ACPM), in partnership with the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), celebrated a milestone with more than 1,000 health care providers achieving the Military Environmental Exposures (MEE) Level I certification.

In addition to the Level I certification, ACPM also offers a free Level II certification for providers who want to continue to improve their knowledge and skills. For more information about the MEE program, visit Military Environmental Exposures Certifications or email education@acpm.org.
