Panel of Health Advisers

Consisting of acknowledged experts in health care, CBO's panel of health advisers meets periodically to examine frontier research in health policy and to advise the agency on its analyses of health care issues. The panel thus helps to further the reliability, professional quality, and transparency of CBO's work. In addition, the agency has a Panel of Economic Advisers.
