Guide to Completing the Report of Physical Examination
The Physical Examination is one of the final pre-service requirements for individuals applying for Peace Corps service.
Most Peace Corps countries have limited access to Western-trained health professionals, and medical resources
are seldom as advanced, or as available, as they are in the United States. In many assignments a Volunteer may be
geographically isolated and without easy access to medical care. It would not be in a Volunteer’s best interest to be placed
in an area where adequate support is not available for existing health problems or new health needs. In order for the Peace
Corps to be able to make appropriate medical decisions regarding qualification and placement, it must have the most
accurate and complete description of the applicant’s current health status and the medical support that will be needed
over the next three years.

Privacy Act Notice
This information is collected under the authority of the Peace Corps Act, 22 U.S.C. 2501 et seq. It will be used primarily for
the purpose of determining your eligibility for Peace Corps service and, if you are invited to serve as a Peace Corps Volunteer, for the purpose of providing you with medical care during your Peace Corps service. Your disclosure of this information is voluntary; however, your failure to provide this information will result in the rejection of your application to become
a Peace Corps Volunteer.
This information may be used for the purposes described in the Privacy Act, 5 USC 552a, including the routine uses listed
in the Peace Corps’ System of Records. Among other uses, this information may be used by those Peace Corps staff who
have a need for such information in the performance of their duties. It may also be disclosed to the Office of Workers’
Compensation Programs in the Department of Labor in connection with claims under the Federal Employees’ Compensation Act and, when necessary, to a physician, psychiatrist, clinical psychologist or other medical personnel treating you or
involved in your treatment or care. A full list of routine uses for this information can be found on the Peace Corps website
at http://multimedia.peacecorps.gov/multimedia/pdf/policies/systemofrecords.pdf.

Burden Statement:
Public reporting burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 90 minutes per applicant response and
45 minutes per physician response. This estimate includes the time for reviewing instructions and completing the collection
of information. An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number. Send comments regarding this burden estimate or any other
aspect of this collection of information, including suggestions for reducing this burden, to: FOIA Officer, Peace Corps, 1111
