Panel Physicians are selected by U.S. Department of State (DOS) embassies and consulates. Therefore, you should contact the appropriate American Embassy or Consulate for information on how to become a Panel Physician. Contact information for those offices is available at http://usembassy.state.gov/ CDC is responsible for providing the technical instructions to Panel Physicians conducting medical examinations for immigration.
