The TPAC is composed of therapist officers in the Commissioned Corps of the U.S. Public Health Service (Corps) and civil service physical therapists, occupational therapists, speech-language pathologists, and audiologists.

The TPAC meets six times annually via teleconferencing. To be eligible for membership, you must be a therapist and a full-time OPDIV/STAFFDIV employee or a Corps officer serving in a non-HHS organization.
