D./DVM, et al. worked in low or middle income countries doing health

research. This was hailed as the premier program of its kind with many
articles written in peer-reviewed journals. Included in my career of assistance
to America, I also served in the U.S. Public Health Service. Although I was
not involved in any combat conflicts, I received the rank 0-6 (equivalent to

Captain in the Navy or Colonel in the Army) in the field of medical research
and global health. My civil service continuously advanced our U.S. Foreign
Policy on Global Health.

I am Sarah L. Richards and I served in the Department of Health and Human
Services from 1976 to 2015. I worked in many crucial positions, and I have
listed a few. I managed over 60 health-care workforce research studies to

professionals vital to the Nation's health. In collaboration with the Department
of Labor, I was instrumental and recognized for revising the “2010 Standard
Occupational Classification Manual,” which identifies, codes, and describes

serve in medically underserved areas and now help fill the gaps in the health-

care system, improving our Nation's health.

administrative oversight for 72 research projects addressing the evaluation
