| 2012 PPAC Leadership CDR Paul Jung will continue to serve as PPAC chair for 2012. We'd like to thank CAPT Susan Lukacs for her service as Vice Chair in 2011 and welcome LCDR Will Sherman as Vice Chair for 2012. We encourage all medical officers to consider serving on a PPAC Subcommittee (you can see the current Subcommittee rosters at http://usphs-ppac.net/AboutPPAC.htm). We have no doubt that 2012 will be a very busy year for the Corps and PPAC and this is a direct way that medical officers can participate in the decisions that affect the service and your career.

Thank you to the numerous officers from the medical category who contributed to this important document.

Even though there is no specific number of hours for clinical time for Medical Officers anymore, I periodically receive notice of clinical practice opportunities.
