Committee on Energy and Commerce. ACTPCMD also develops, publishes, and 
implements performance measures and guidelines for longitudinal 
evaluations of programs authorized under title VII, part C of the PHS 
Act, and recommends appropriation levels for programs under this part.

clinicians to serve in underserved areas; diversity, equity, and
