Role of Partners

Outside experts who provide extensive peer review of draft reports are drawn from the clinical professions, public health, epidemiology, health promotion, and education. Liaisons from the major primary care societies and from Public Health Service agencies contribute their expertise to the evaluation process, provide peer review of draft documents, and help disseminate the work of the USPSTF to their members.


Federal partners include the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Department of Defense (DOD), Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), National Institutes of Health (NIH), U.S. Army Center for Health Promotion and Preventive Medicine, and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).


Primary care partners include the American Academy of Family Physicians, American Academy of Pediatrics, American Academy of Physician Assistants, American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, American College of Physicians, American College of Preventive Medicine, America's Health Insurance Plans, the Canadian Task Force on Preventive Health Care, the National Committee for Quality Assurance, and the Pan American Health Organization.
