Scores run from -100 (strongly harmful) to +100 (strongly beneficial) for each group, combining impact, certainty, scope, and duration ratings of 1-5. How impact scoring works
Each designated center must employ a minimum staff of a medical oncologist, interventional radiologist, urologist, radiation oncologist, pathologist, and two full-time research staff, creating new specialized federal hiring across at least 21 to 28 VA facilities. This expands the VA's clinical workforce rather than cutting it.
“The Secretary shall ensure that each center designated under subsection (c) employs, at a minimum-- ``(A) a medical oncologist; ``(B) an interventional radiologist; ``(C) a urologist; ``(D) a radiation oncologist; ``(E) a pathologist; and ``(F) two full-time equivalent research staff members.”
