Call for National Advisory Committee Nominations
The
Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) is seeking nominations for
new members to serve on its Health Workforce National Advisory
Committees.
The five
committees advise the
Secretary of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and Congress on health workforce policies and programs.
We accept nominations on a continuous
basis and consider them as vacancies occur on each committee. You may nominate yourself
or others. Professional associations and organizations may also nominate
qualified candidates.
HRSA appoints members to
advisory committees based on their competence, interest, and knowledge of the
mission of the profession. We encourage nominations of qualified candidates from all
groups and geographic locations.

to the public, are announced in the Federal register. Meeting dates and
