Concordant Care Training

Concordant Care training has four components. 1. Clinicians will complete \~3 hours of online, asynchronous training that will teach them practices including validate Veterans' experiences with Long-COVID, develop shared understanding with patients about Long-COVID, and develop patient-centered action plans. Clinicians will be provided with handouts, case examples, video demonstrations, and practice exercises to help them integrate these practices into care. 2. Tele-mentoring groups will be offered \~bi-weekly and be open to all clinician participant in the Concordant Training arm. Content will include review of specific cases, didactics on specific Concordant Care practices, role-play exercises, and review of session recordings. At least two sessions are required. 3. Clinician Pocket Card that serves as a reminder of the Concordant Care process. 4. An electronic prompt will be sent to enrolled Veterans encouraging them to speak with their clinician about their Long-COVID concerns.

BEHAVIORAL

Education Packet Training

Clinicians randomized to the control arm will receive a comprehensive information packet with the latest understanding of Long-COVID. Clinicians will also be provided a packet directing them to relevant VA trainings for Long-COVID. Whole Health trainings which focus on wholistic integrated approaches to care will be highlighted. Whole Health is important for all Veterans, and it is thought to be particularly relevant for poorly understood conditions that don't easily fit in traditional medical model.
