Short Statement: This revised Health History Form which replaces the current Health History Form will result in most Applicants answering significantly fewer questions than they would with the current Health History Form. Applicants will gain access to the Health History Form via a secure online portal. The link to the portal will be sent to applicants via email. The Peace Corps anticipates that most Applicants will complete the Health History Form online and that only those few with no electronic access (expected to be no more than 10 Applicants a year) will submit a paper version.
