of performance measures and longitudinal evaluation of medical

physician workforce. The Council will also discuss recent developments 
in the physician workforce and in graduate medical education. However, 
a large portion of the meeting will be devoted to developing

submitted to the Secretary of the Department of Health and Human 
Services; the Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions of the 
Senate; and the Committee on Energy and Commerce of the House of

    Public Comment: An opportunity will be provided for public comment 
at the end of each day of the meeting, or written comments to the 
members may be sent prior to the meeting to Shane Rogers at

on the HRSA Web site (http://www.hrsa.gov/advisorycommittees/bhpradvisory/cogme/index.html). Agenda items are subject to change as 
priorities dictate.
