The program changes includes the restructuring of CCHQ. In the previous collection, the Recruitment Branch performed review of medical documents submitted by applicants applying to the Corps to ensure applicants meet medical accession standards. With the restructuring of CCHQ, the Medical Affairs Branch (MAB) is responsible for the medical accession of applicants. Additionally, CCHQ entered into agreement with the Department of Defense Medical Examination Review Board (DoDMERB) and the Department of Defense Medical Exam Testing System (DoDMETS). DoDMETS will coordinate scheduling and conducting medical examinations and forward the examinations electronically to DoDMERB for review. Additionally, MAB retired PHS forms of PHS-7059 (Report of Medical Examination), PHS-6379 Supplemental Medical History Record Required of Applicants to the Public Health Service Commissioned Corps; Form PHS-7053 (Allergies Questionnaire) PHS-7054 (Head Injury Questionnaire), PHS-7055 (Injury Questionnaire), PHS-7056 (Headache Questionnaire), PHS-7057 (GYN Questionnaire), PHS-7061 (Owestr Low Back Questionnaire)
