Short Statement: The current process requires all Applicants to complete in its entirety a Health Status Review form (Peace Corps Form PC-1789). Under the new system, the Applicant will begin the medical part of the application process by completing the Health History Form covered by this Supporting Statement, a form which is much more comprehensive in scope than OMB form 0420-0510. The Health History Form will replace Health Status Review Form and is expected to significantly reduce the need for medical office visits and tests. The Health History Form will be completed online in an interactive process in which only questions relevant to each Applicant's medical history (based on responses to previous questions) are presented
