between the Office of the Surgeon General and therapists working in the Department of Health and Human
Services’ (HHS) Operating Divisions (OPDIVs) and Staff Divisions (STAFFDIVs) as well as Corps officers
serving in non-HHS organizations to which Corps therapists are assigned. The TPAC meets six times annually
via teleconferencing. To be eligible for membership, you must be a therapist and a full-time OPDIV/STAFFDIV
