Therapist Officers,

 

I received a call for volunteers for the ship-based training missions
occurring this summer and fall in Latin America and the Pacific. The
original call for volunteers is attached to this message. Please read
the instructions carefully.

 

The deployment role being offered is health educator. You do not need to
have a health educator credential to deploy in this role, but please
consider whether you are an appropriate candidate to serve with
distinction in this capacity. If you are approved to participate by your
agency, please let me know so I can be prepared to give my concurrence
when requested by OFRD.

 

I have asked for clarification about which portions of which missions
need officers in the health educator role and have not received that
feedback. If there is a mission for which you think you might be able to
deploy, I recommend you contact one of the OFRD staff listed in the memo
to confirm availability of slots before seeking agency approval.

 

Deployments are one month in duration, which not all duty stations will
be able to support. For those of you for whom this may be an option,
thank you for considering this request. Not only will it be an important
opportunity to serve, but you also will be able to gather information
about potential contributions officers might make in a therapist role on
future missions.

 

Best wishes,

 

Karen Lohmann Siegel, PT, MA
