VA Residency Realignment Review Committee, Notice of 
Establishment

    As required by Section 9(a)(2) of the Federal Advisory Committee 
Act, the VA hereby gives notice of the establishment of the Residency 
Realignment Review Committee. VA has determined that this action is in 
the public interest.
    The objectives of the Committee are to advise the Under Secretary 
for Health about the scope and structure of Veterans Health 
Administration's Residency Program, and about changes necessary to 
ensure that the program is effective in a future health care setting. 
The Committee will review various options for restructuring residency 
programs presently existing with VA and will provide the Under 
Secretary for Health a report with recommendations for restructuring 
VHA's graduate medical education programs.
    The committee members will be selected on the basis of professional 
expertise in graduate medical education. Committee members will also 
represent various constituencies served by VA's Residency Program, 
including other

recommendations developed by the Committee. Appointments will be for 
the duration of the Committee unless otherwise directed by the

of fiscal year 1996.
