The Peace Corps Office of Medical Services is responsible for the collection of applicant dental information, using the Report of Dental Exam form. The Dental Exam form is completed by the applicant and the applicant's examining dentist. The results of the examinations are used to ensure that applicants for Volunteer service will, with reasonable accommodation, be able to serve in the Peace Corps without jeopardizing their health.
The Peace Corps is upgrading the medical component of the electronic application process as part of a larger quality improvement project. In conjunction with this project, medical staff have reviewed and revised the medical screening forms including the Health History Form, The Report of Physical Examination, Report of Dental Examination, and the Individual Specific Medical Evaluation Forms. These changes are being made in an effort to:
⢠Reduce the time required for an Applicant and their health care providers to manage and complete the medical forms
⢠Reduce the number of medical forms
⢠Clarify content based on the lessons learned from customer feedback
Applicants access the Dental Examination form via a secure online portal. Applicants will download the form for their dentist to complete. The Dental Exam form must be personally completed and signed by the examining dentist. The completed form can be scanned and uploaded into the Applicantâs secure Peace Corps online portal, faxed, or mailed to the Peace Corps Office of Medical Services.
