CAREER DEVELOPMENT

The purpose of career development for PHS commissioned officers is to enhance opportunities for their professional growth in keeping with the mission of the PHS and the commissioned corps. The responsibility of career development lies with the comissioned officer. It is necessary for the officer to define his/her career goals early in his/her career. An officer may develop his/her career by remaining primarily within the same career track and functional area and assuming progressively more responsible positions, or by moving across different career tracks and functional areas. The resources below will help you as the mentor offer proper advice and guidance.
