Health Services Category by State (Includes all States with over 10 Officers as of June 06, 2012)
Promotion Success Rates By Temporary Grade • Temporary O-6 Medical, Dental Categories and Research Officer Group (ROG) 47% • Temporary O-6 All other Categories 29% • Temporary O-5 43% • Temporary O-4 90%
Future Directions • Leadership transition: • CAPT Robert DeMartino, MD - COS • Uniform changes Operational Duty Uniform (ODU) • Five Pillars (NS)
Commissioned Corps Five Pillars • Five pillars to identify the need for new Corps applicants. These position pillars include: • Assignment to underserved and vulnerable populations. • Assignment is in a hardship location (or difficult-to-recruit position) where there is significant unmet need for qualified professionals. • Assignment requires individual to be available for rapid deployment – domestic or international – at the direction of the agency head (as distinguished from deployment for natural disaster or international response) or requires availability to perform duties 24/7, including when on leave. • Assignment requires regular engagement with other uniformed services. • Assignment does not meet criteria 1-4 but cannot be filled without the Commissioned Corps and will address an important public health need.
Challenges Redirecting focus of recruitment mix in the future to meet requirements of the Corps under the 5 pillars concept (more clinically oriented) Working opdivs/staffdivs, agencies to keep the corps in in the forefront when positions become available. Continued work on board cert pay & bonuses (CPAB)
