Peace Corps application process. A small percentage of these applicants

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The purpose of this survey is to collect 
feedback from Peace Corps applicants on the efficiency and 
effectiveness of the Peace Corps medical clearance system. The Peace 
Corps medical clearance process is the system by which the agency 
determines whether an applicant is medically fit to become a Peace 
Corps Volunteer. The applicants who engaged in the medical clearance 
process are one of the best sources of information on whether the 
process is running effectively. Determining whether the medical 
clearance is processing applications efficiently and effectively is 
critical to the mission of the Peace Corps. There is no statutory or 
regulatory requirement for this information.
    The Peace Corps Office of the Inspector General will use this 
information to evaluate the current status of the medical clearance 
system and to make recommendations for necessary changes in policy and 
or/systems.
    Method: The information will be collected primarily through an 
online survey. A small percentage of those who respond to the online 
survey will be contacted for additional information through telephone 
or face to face interviews.
