Deployment Role Training
The USPHS Commissioned Corps Deployment Role Training aims to provide relevant, mission-focused education and resources. Maintenance of readiness and adequate preparation is critical when responding to public health emergencies and/or threats. This 5-day training builds upon current officer skills, providing a sustainable delivery model that improves efficiency and performance. All USPHS officers must be prepared to respond to public medical emergencies, urgent public health needs, and special national security events.
Objectives:
- Identify the key USPHS deployment roles and responsibilities during an emergency response.
- Ensure the success of all response missions by providing resources, support, and current training practices.
- Collaborate as a team in an incident response framework to stabilize the community and restore essential services during adverse events.
- Demonstrate the duties, responsibilities, and capabilities of Case Management.
Case Management Track
Case Managers serve as primary points of contact, assisting clients in coordinating necessary services and resources to address complex disaster recovery needs. The Case Management Deployment Role Training will give officers an overview of the roles that Case managers fill during deployments such as patient movement, intake and interview, discharge planning, patient advocacy, and more. This training will provide participants with practical knowledge and skills that are necessary to successfully fulfill the Case Management role in the aftermath of a public health emergency, disaster, or other major incidents.
Target Audience:
The course is designed for officers of all PHS categories who are General Active Duty or Reserve Commissioned Corps*.
*Ready Reserve officers will be selected by their Regional Commanders but will still need to submit an application.
