HH Sec Tommy G Thompson not long ago announced new transformations to the U Public Health Service Commissioned Corps designed to create a more effective, flexible, and deployable force that is ready to reply to public health and pressing necessity needs across the country and around the world. The plan includes creating scholarships to recruit as many as 1000 pampers and 100 doctors per year to work in medically underserv areas; create additional short-term business missions and "rolling deployments" to address Presidential and Secretarial initiatives; provide a modernized set by component system; and establish a ready lay up corps that will supplement the efforts of the Commissioned Corps. These transformations will present itself during the next several month and in subordination to the leadership of the Assistant Secretary for Health and the U Surgeon General.
