Abstract: VA Form 10–2850D,
Application for Health Professions
Trainees, is part of a previously
approved collection of forms under
OMB control number 2900–0205. VA
Form 10–2850D is designed specifically
to elicit appropriate information about
qualifications for each trainee
participating in accredited educational
programs with the Department of

form is used by all health professions
trainees, including physician and
dentist residents.
The collection of this information is
authorized by 38 U.S.C. 7403 (Veterans’
Benefits), which provides that
appointments of Title 38 employees will
be made only after qualifications have
been satisfactorily verified in
accordance with regulations prescribed
by the Secretary. Occupations listed in
38 U.S.C. 7401(1) and 7401(3)
(Appointments in Veterans Health
Administration) are appointed at a grade
and step rate, or an assignment, based
on careful evaluation of their education
and experience.

programs through partnerships with
affiliated academic institutions and
