DEPARTMENT OF VETERANS AFFAIRS


Notice of Establishment; VHA Resident Education Committee

    As required by section 9(a)(2) of the Federal Advisory Committee 
Act, the Department of Veterans Affairs hereby gives notice of the 
establishment of the Advisory Committee on Veterans Health 
Administration (VHA) Resident Education. The Secretary of Veterans 
Affairs had determined that establishing the Committee is both 
necessary and in the public interest.
    The Committee will provide advice on matters involving a broad 
assessment of physician resident positions in relationship to the 
future health care needs of veterans. The Committee will be composed of 
public and private health care experts who will provide a national 
perspective on health care trends and independent advice to VA on 
critical physician education issues. Members of the Committee will 
provide a broad range of experience and expertise, ranging from medical 
school administration to medical education accreditation.
    As it considers necessary, the Committee may make recommendations 
to the Secretary and the Under Secretary for Health regarding the 
philosophical principles of VHA's resident education program, as well 
as the overall operation of that program.

    Dated: July 14, 2004.
