I’m proud to have worked in many diverse environments, different agencies, and among some of the most capable, resourceful, and competent people out there. As I wrap up my career with the Corps, my favorite memories center on those diverse opportunities that one just doesn’t get outside the U.S Public Health Service. Opportunities such as investigating a newly emerging disease (hantavirus); participating in an Alien Migrant Interdiction Operation with the Coast Guard; responding to New York City after 9/11; and leading a team of EHOs and other disciplines to assess shelters and schools in the aftermath of Katrina and Rita. I have also had the privilege of mentoring, both officially and unofficially, many EHOs who continue to amaze me with their skills, knowledge, and passion for public health. The point is, there is no greater opportunity to do truly unique and amazing things to support and provide for the public’s health than serving as an Environmental Health Officer in the U.S. Public Health Service. You are now part of a cadre of professionals that has the opportunity to keep the proud tradition of service to the public alive and thriving. Embrace the chance to do great things for those you serve. Do not take your commission for granted either. It took 8 years, five applications, and three appeals to get mine because of a previous medical condition. To put the uniform on and assume the obligations that go with it was one of the most humbling moments of my life. None of us do it alone. I am forever grateful to those who helped me over the years. Many have now retired and some have passed on. We all have mentors through all stages of our careers. When you get the chance, serve your fellow Officers by being an enthusiastic, wise, and humble mentor. If I had some advice to give, it would be to grab your career by the horns and make the most of it. While doing that, keep service to the public’s health first and foremost – they are the reason you wear the uniform. Consider geographic moves and changing agencies; the rewards of a well-rounded career are tremendous. As a uniformed service, the Commissioned Corps of the U.S. Public Health Service has a rich and proud history with a promising future. Hopefully, this document will share insight to help you walk the walk and be instrumental in maximizing your role in advancing and promoting the nation’s health. Good luck on your Commissioned Corps journey! CAPT Richard Turner Editor and Contributing Author 6 Version: September 6, 2018 The Environmental Health Officer Survival Guide PREFACE TO THE FIRST EDITION This book is an unofficial guide intended to complement the many circulars and directives of the U.S. Public Health Service Commissioned Corps. It is written primarily for new Environmental Health Officers who may benefit from a sort of “boiled down” peer guidance. Officers with some experience may also gain useful information, tips, and guidance as they continue to navigate their career and contribute to this working document. Hopefully, all Environmental Health Officers will gain an appreciation for the information contained in this guide and will be able to relate it to their growth and progression as an Officer and as a public health servant. This guide is not meant to be a summary or CliffsNotes™ version of U.S. Public Health Service directives and circulars. So, if you are looking for an answer to whether your white blouse may be worn with your khaki pants as an optional summer uniform, then you are looking in the wrong place (the answer though, is a resounding NO!). Please refer to https://dcp.psc.gov/ccmis for all official circulars and directives. Rather, what your fellow Officers are attempting to achieve in this reference is a sort of “field manual.” It may be best described as a “survive to thrive” guidance document. It is a peer-to-peer resource that will be helpful to fill in the gaps in the application of the PHS rules and orders. So much gratitude is owed to my fellow compilation authors, LCDR Elena Vaouli and CDR Luis Rodriguez for shepherding several of the chapters and to our editor, CAPT Richard Turner for all of their tireless efforts and continued passion and energy for over a year! I will miss working with them. I will miss the conversations with all the Officers and the dedication and adventurous spirit that allowed these pages to shape themselves. We are very proud to say that this guide also came from a wide cadre of our own

  • UNIVERSITY of CALIFORNIA the Role of United States Public Health Service in the Control of Syphilis During the Early 20Th Centu
    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles The Role of United States Public Health Service in the Control of Syphilis during the Early 20th Century A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Public Health by George Sarka 2013 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION The Role of United States Public Health Service in the Control of Syphilis during the Early 20th Century by George Sarka Doctor of Public Health University of California, Los Angeles, 2013 Professor Paul Torrens, Chair Statement of the Problem: To historians, the word syphilis usually evokes images of a bygone era where lapses in moral turpitude led to venereal disease and its eventual sequelae of medical and moral stigmata. It is considered by many, a disease of the past and simply another point of interest in the timeline of medical, military or public health history. However, the relationship of syphilis to the United States Public Health Service is more than just a fleeting moment in time. In fact, the control of syphilis in the United States during the early 20th century remains relatively unknown to most individuals including historians, medical professionals and public health specialists. This dissertation will explore following question: What was the role of the United States Public Health Service in the control of syphilis during the first half of the 20th century? This era was a fertile period to study the control of syphilis due to a plethora of factors including the following: epidemic proportions in the U.S. population and military with syphilis; the ii emergence of tools to define, recognize and treat syphilis; the occurrence of two world wars with a rise in the incidence and prevalence of syphilis, the economic ramifications of the disease; and the emergence of the U.S.

  • A History of Federal Control of Communicable Diseases: Section 361 of the Public Health Service Act
    A History of Federal Control of Communicable Diseases: Section 361 of the Public Health Service Act The Harvard community has made this article openly available. Please share how this access benefits you. Your story matters Citation A History of Federal Control of Communicable Diseases: Section 361 of the Public Health Service Act (2002 Third Year Paper) Citable link http://nrs.harvard.edu/urn-3:HUL.InstRepos:8852098 Terms of Use This article was downloaded from Harvard University’s DASH repository, and is made available under the terms and conditions applicable to Other Posted Material, as set forth at http:// nrs.harvard.edu/urn-3:HUL.InstRepos:dash.current.terms-of- use#LAA Abstract: The federal government possesses broad powers under Section 361 of the Public Health Service Act to regulate the entry and spread of communi- cable diseases into and among the United States. Though this power has played a central role in United States history since the time of the colonies and remains important today, no complete history of its development and use exists. In our era of almost unlimited communicable disease possibilities, to ignore past expe- rience is folly—a waste of informational resources that could prove instructive today. This paper attempts to fill that gap, providing a policy history to explain the evolution of federal quarantine and inspection powers. Through Section 361 of the Public Health Service Act, Congress has endowed the Surgeon General with the responsibility and power to: [M]ake and enforce such regulations as in his judgment are necessary to prevent the introduc- tion, transmission, or spread of communicable diseases from foreign countries into the States or possessions, or from one State or possession into any other State or possession.1 The breadth of this power is matched only by the importance of its goal.

  • USPHS Commissioned Corps Doctrine
    U.S. PUBLIC HEALTH SERVICE COMMISSIONED CORPS DOCTRINE In Officio Salutis January 2021 THE ASSISTANT SECRETARY FOR HEALTH Washington, D.C. The USPHS Commissioned Corps has its origin in the “Act for the Relief of Sick and Disabled Seamen”, signed in 1798 by President John Adams. This Act led to the creation of a network of locally controlled marine hospitals, supervised by civilian healthcare professionals. Following the Civil War, Congress formally converted the loose network of locally controlled marine hospitals into a centrally controlled Marine Hospital Service, with its headquarters in Washington, DC. Dr. John Maynard Woodworth became the first "Supervising Surgeon", and began the initial transformation of this Service into a highly disciplined cadre of disciplined professionals, based on his experience in the Union Army as a surgeon. On January 4, 1889, President Grover Cleveland signed an Act passed by the 50th U.S. Congress to authorize the USPHS Commissioned Corps as a uniformed service. At that time, an explosion of new knowledge and focus on the health of our Nation engaged our officers in every facet of public health, including research and science to discover and cure disease, health policy reform, epidemiology, health promotion, disease prevention, and the provision of direct patient care. Our 132nd year as a uniformed service is a befitting time for the release of our Doctrine - as public health is once again the dominant concern during a global pandemic - and as our officers are actively engaged in protecting, promoting, and advancing the health and safety of our Nation. Though public health continues to change and evolve, our USPHS Commissioned Corps has remained relevant and resilient.
