Advisory Committee on Training in Primary Care Medicine and 
Dentistry; Notice of Meeting

    In accordance with section 10(a)(2) of the Federal Advisory 
Committee Act (Pub. L. 92-463), notice is hereby given of the following 
meeting:
    Name: Advisory Committee on Training in Primary Care Medicine and 
Dentistry (ACTPCMD).
    Dates and Times: June 28, 2016 (Day 1--8:30 a.m.-5:00 p.m., EST), 
June 29, 2016 (Day 2--8:30 a.m.-5:00 p.m., EST).
    Place: In-Person Meeting with Webinar/Conference Call Component, 
5600 Fishers Lane, Room 5E29, Rockville, MD 20857.
    Status: The meeting will be open to the public.
    Purpose: The ACTPCMD provides advice and recommendations on a broad 
range of issues relating to grant programs authorized by title VII, 
part C, sections 747 and 748 of the Public Health Service Act (PHSA). 
During the June 28-29, 2016 meeting, the Committee will discuss the 
topic for the 14th report which is divided into two areas: a) Review of 
Primary Care Medicine and Dentistry Programs under title VII, part C of 
the PHSA and b) the ways to integrate behavioral health content into 
primary care medicine and dentistry training programs.
    Agenda: The purpose of the Advisory Committee meeting is two-fold: 
a) Review the activities under sections 747 and 748, part C of title 
VII of the PHS Act including performance measures, longitudinal 
evaluations, and appropriation levels for these programs; and b) review 
ways that behavioral health content could be integrated into primary 
care education and training. The Committee has identified that 
integrating behavioral health services into primary care settings 
offers a promising, viable, and efficient way of ensuring that people 
have access to needed behavioral health services. The ACTPCMD's reports 
are submitted to the Secretary of the Department of Health and Human 
Services; the Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions of 
the Senate; and the Committee on Energy and Commerce of the House of
