SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The ACTPCMD advises and makes
recommendations to the Secretary of HHS (Secretary) on policy, program
development, and other matters of significance concerning the medicine
and dentistry activities authorized under the Public Health Service
(PHS) Act, as it existed upon the enactment of Section 749 of the PHS
Act in 1998. The ACTPCMD also develops, publishes, and implements
performance measures, develops and publishes guidelines for
longitudinal evaluations, and recommends appropriation levels for
programs under Part C of Title VII of the PHS Act. In addition, the
Committee provides reports to the Secretary, the Senate Committee on
Health, Education, Labor and Pensions, and the House of Representatives
Committee on Energy and Commerce describing the activities of the
Committee.
The ACTPCMD currently focuses on the following primary care
professions and disciplines: Family Medicine, General Internal
Medicine, General Pediatrics, Physician Assistants, General Dentistry,
Pediatric Dentistry, Public Health Dentistry, and Dental Hygiene. The
ACTPCMD meets not less than two times each calendar year.
Nominations: HRSA is requesting nominations for voting members to
serve as Special Government Employees (SGEs) on ACTPCMD. The Secretary
appoints ACTPCMD members with the expertise needed to fulfill the
duties of the Committee. The membership requirements are set forth in
section 749(b) of the PHS Act (42 U.S.C. 293l(b)). Nominees requested
for this upcoming cycle include, but are not limited to,
representatives from the primary care professions of family medicine,
physician assistants, and general dentistry. Interested applicants may
self-nominate or be nominated by another individual or organization.
Individuals selected for appointment to the Committee will be
invited to serve for 3 years. Members of the ACTPCMD appointed as SGEs
receive compensation for performance of their duties on the Committee
and reimbursement for per diem and travel expenses incurred for
attending ACTPCMD meetings.
The following information must be included in the package of
materials submitted in order for an individual's nomination to be
considered: (1) A letter of nomination from an employer, colleague, or
a professional organization; (2) a current copy of the nominee's
curriculum vitae; (3) a statement of interest from the nominee; and (4)
a one-paragraph biographical sketch of the nominee. Nomination packages
may be submitted directly by the individual being nominated or by the
person/organization nominating them.
HHS endeavors to ensure that the membership of the ACTPCMD is fair
and balanced in terms of points of view represented as well as between
the health professions and a broad representation of geographic areas,
including balance among urban and rural members, gender, and
minorities, including racial and ethnic minority groups, as well as
individuals with disabilities. At least 75 percent of the members of
the Committee are health professionals. Appointments shall be made
without discrimination of age, race, color, national origin, sex,
disability, or religion. Members are appointed based on their
competence, interest, and knowledge of the mission of the profession
involved.
Individuals who are selected to be considered for appointment will
be required to provide detailed information regarding their financial
holdings, consultancies, and research grants or contracts. Disclosure
of this information is required in order for HRSA ethics officials to
determine whether there is a potential conflict of interest between the
SGE's public duties as a member of ACTPCMD and their private interests,
including an appearance of a loss of impartiality as defined by federal
laws and regulations, and to identify any required remedial action
needed to address the potential conflict.
Maria G. Button,
Director, Executive Secretariat.
