U. S. PUBLIC HEALTH SERVICE
COMMISSIONED OFFICER TRAINING ACADEMY
Commissioned Officer Training Courses
Officer Basic Course
The purpose of the OBC is to establish a standardized, highly reliable core of basic information, to inspire Corps officers and to establish an emotional bond to the service. It supports acquirement of competencies that officers need to begin their careers, with emphasis on officership and readiness. When officers complete the OBC, they have the foundation upon which to develop a career in the Public Health Service and meet the basic readiness requirements for deployment. Completion of this course meets eligibility requirements for awarding the Commissioned Corps Training Ribbon.
Implementation for new calls to active duty began in 2007.
Officer Intermediate Course
The Intermediate Officer training course will incorporate the inter-Agency concept into an officer’s Corps development. It will also help the officer to prepare for assignments in mid-level management and supervision positions.
A pilot course is planned for 2009.
Officer Advanced Course
All officers will be eligible for the Advanced Officer Training Course, which is designed to build future Corps leaders. The Training and Career Development Steering Committee will coordinate with Corps leadership to establish criteria for priority placement in this course, which will train Corps officers in advanced leadership matters.
A pilot course is planned for 2009.
Officer Executive Course
Executive training will be offered to selected officers. The Training and Career Development Steering Committee will work with Corps leadership to identify specific qualification guidelines to identify potential officers.
A pilot course is planned for 2010.
