GMP Tips - Rear Admirals in the FDA? - Oct 23, 2006

Andrew C. von Eschenbach, M.D., Acting Commissioner of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration today congratulated three senior agency scientists and physicians on their promotions as members of the Commissioned Corps of the United States Public Health Service (USPHS). Rear Admiral Linda Tollefson, D.V.M., M.P.H., was promoted to Rear Admiral, Upper Half (0-8, two-star), and Captains Paul J. Seligman, M.D., M.P.H. and Sandra L. Kweder, M.D., were each promoted to Rear Admiral, Lower Half (0-7, one-star).

One of the seven uniformed services of the United States, the Commissioned Corps of the U.S. Public Health Service is a specialized career system designed to attract, develop, and retain health professionals who may be assigned to Federal, State or local agencies or international organizations. Their mission is protecting, promoting, and advancing the health and safety of the Nation. The FDA is part of the U.S. Public Health Service.

As if the FDA inspectors aren’t intimidating enough, some wear their uniforms which adds to the intimidation factor.
