USPHS Scientific and Training Symposium
SciPAC Mentoring Program
This program provides mentoring services to
officers in the Scientist category. This effort
is achieved by recruiting senior, experienced officers to serve as
Mentors and
advisors to officers in need of career guidance. Mentors are paired with
Mentees based on, but not limited to the following: similar career
paths, field of
expertise, agency, and rank. Mentors provide one-on-one career
guidance to
officers in the areas of career assignments, mobility, awards,
deployments,
curriculum vitae review, career strengths and weaknesses, and
recommendations
to enhance promotion potential.If you
are interested in becoming a mentor, or if you are seeking an
mentor, please contact the chair of the Mentoring Subcommittee, CDR
Boris Aponte at
boris.aponte@ahrq.hhs.gov.
SciPAC Recruitment Program
Currently, general recruitment issues
specifically aimed at officers in the Scientist Professional
Advisory Committee (SciPAC) are handled by the Recruitment,
Readiness, and Retention Subcommittee. The subcommittee strives to
enhance efforts to recruit highly qualified Scientist officers and
optimize the preparedness of Scientists to serve during public
health emergencies. Historically, recruitment efforts and related
issues were handled through the USPHS Associate Recruitment Program.
However, as the official Associate Recruitment Program is currently
under reorganization and structuring, OCCO requests that all
officers, including scientist officers, participate in various
recruitment activities. Additional information on the Associate
Recruitment Program and developments should be directed to Nelson
Adekoya at nba7@cdc.gov.
