| Important Information Regarding eCCIS |
| The electronic Commissioned Corps Issuance System (eCCIS) is available at
http://dcp.psc.gov/eccis/.
Policies that will be coming up for review or are under review and development are listed on the first page of that site. Officers of the Commissioned Corps of the U.S. Public Health Service (Corps) are encouraged to provide their Chief Professional Officers (CPOs), Professional Advisory Committee (PAC) chairs, and/or their Surgeon General’s Policy Advisory Council (SGPAC) representatives with their recommendations for changes to existing policies or proposals for new policies. Policies are posted to the Web site http://dcp.psc.gov/eccis/
when signed by the Assistant Secretary for Health (ASH).
Currently, a Working Integrated Project Team (WIPT) is reviewing the general and category specific appointment standards. Each CPO was asked for his/her written comments and all CPOs were invited to present to the WIPT. The recommendations of the WIPT should be available to the ASH by early spring. A WIPT will also be convened to address the leave policy of the Corps. OCCFM will be asking the SGPAC, CPOs, PAC Chairs, Commissioned Corps Liaisons, Minority Officers Liaison Council, Junior Officer Advisory Group, and Office of the Surgeon General for nominations of members to serve on this WIPT. Corps officers interested in serving on this WIPT should contact their CPO or SGPAC representative. |
