To: All Medical Department personnel. Subj: Catalog of Hospital Corps Schools and Courses, Revised 1944. 1. Responsible officers are directed to insure that instruction in all courses, described in subject Catalog conforms to the minimum out- lines provided. 2. All courses have been established on a peace-time basis but, of necessity, some have been accelerated to meet war-time needs. 3. The issuance of this Revised Catalog does not rescind or modify previous authority with respect to acceleration of courses. 4. Where acceleration is authorized the scope of the courses will not be changed but the required hours of instruction in ail subjects will be modified proportionately. 5. The outlines of courses will be considered as the minimum coverage of the subject. It is expected the actual instruction will elaborate and expand upon the outlines as indicated by the needs of the personnel under instruction. 6. It is desired that pertinent audio-visual and other appropriate teaching aids be utilized to the extent practicable to achieve the maxi- mum efficiency of instruction. Ross T. McIntire Vice Admiral (MC) Surgeon General, U. S. Navy OFFICERS OF ADMINISTRATION AND INSTRUCTION Advisory Council on Hospital Corps Schools and Courses The Chief of the Bureau of Medicine and Surgery, Chairman. The Representative of the Office of Education and Training, Bureau of Naval Personnel. The Representative of the Office of Medical Corps Personnel. The Representative of the Office of Hospital Corps Personnel. The Representative of the Office of Dental Corps Personnel. The Representative of the Office of Nurses Corps Personnel. The administration of all Hospital Corps schools and naval hospitals giving instruction and training to hospital corpsmen, is under the direction of the Surgeon General of the Navy, and under the immediate supervision of the medical officer in command. Personnel of the Medical, Hospital, Dental, and Nurses Corps’, serve as instructors in the several courses. Instructors are selected for this duty on the basis of their education, experience and teaching ability. INTRODUCTION This catalog has been prepared at the direction of the Surgeon General of the United States Navy, to describe the educational program of the Hospital Corps and to establish the standards for the schools, courses and training within its cognizance. Opportunity for continuous education and experience is available to all hospital corpsmen. Special schools and courses are maintained to provide for the education of the personnel of the Corps. Advance- ment in rating is dependent upon growth in professional qualifications, service, and general aptitude for the duties of the Hospital Corps. The instructional program under the direction of the medical de- partment, has been carefully planned and standardized and is described in detail in this catalog. iv THE HOSPITAL CORPS SCHOOLS AND COURSES The educational program of the Hospital Corps is divided into four levels. The lower or basic schools provide the elementary professional education of new members of the corps. The intermediate course is designed primarily to prepare pharmacist’s mates, first class and second class for duty independent of medical officers. The specialization courses train qualified Hospital Corps personnel in the technical special- ties supporting medical service. The advanced courses are directed to the qualification of Hospital Corps officers for administrative duties incident to the operation and maintenance of naval hospitals and other medical department activities. In addition to the organized schools and courses, standard Navy Training Courses are available for independent study, in preparation for examination for advancement in rating. Hospital Corps schools are located at U. S. Naval Hospital, San Diego, Calif.; U. S. Naval Training Center, Bainbridge, Md., and U. S. Naval Hospital, Farragut, Idaho. The Hospital Corps School (Intermediate Course) is located at U. S. Naval Hospital, Portsmouth, Va. Specialization courses are offered at the Naval Medical School, National Naval Medical Center, Bethesda, Md., the larger naval hos- pitals and at other naval activities. The advanced courses for Hos- pital Corps officers are given at the U. S. Naval Hospital, National Naval Medical Center, Bethesda, Md. REQUIREMENTS FOR ADMISSION TO HOSPITAL CORPS SCHOOLS AND COURSES All applicants for enlistment in the Hospital Corps of the U. S. Navy- are required to meet certain high standards as to mental, moral, and physical fitness. Personnel who meet these standards and are accepted for the Hospital Corps receive their primary professional education in one of the Hos- pital Corps schools and are required to attain a proficiency rating of not less than 2.5 in order to receive the Hospital Corps certificate. A period of training in general hospital duties, with emphasis upon the care of the sick and injured follows graduation. Hospital Corps personnel who submit evidence of satisfactory train- ing in appropriate fields related to medicine may be ordered to a naval hospital for professional orientation. Completion of this special train- ing is considered the equivalent of graduation from a Hospital Corps school for admission to intermediate, specialization or advanced courses. 1 Admission to intermediate, specialization and advanced courses is by selection. Pharmacist’s mates may submit applications through their commanding officer for admission to any of the courses listed in this Catalog. All applications must state (1) name, age, and rating of applicant; (2) length of naval service; (3) civilian education; and (4) civilian and naval professional experience. All applications must be accompanied by the recommendation of a medical officer which shall include an evaluation of the applicant’s aptitude for general Hospital Corps duties and his suitability for the special duties embraced by the technical field for which application for training is made. To qualify for admission to intermediate, specializa- tion or advanced courses Hospital Corps personnel may be required to serve at least 3 months probationary duty as assistant in the particular specialty. Men who have completed a special training course may be required to serve a minimum of 2 full years on active duty. Hospital Corps personnel who complete an intermediate, specialization or ad- vanced course and have been certified as a qualified assistant, tech- nologist or associate may be assigned to duty in that specialty. The courses are organized on the highest possible plane and while designed primarily to meet the needs of the service, provide a sound training which, in some instances, can be utilized in related civilian activities. There are many civilian opportunities open to Navy trained specialists, particularly in the fields of physical therapy, clinical labora- tory services, professional relations and sales work in pharmacy, dental technology, nursing, industrial first aid, and general hospital services. 2 Courses Instruction center Length1 of course (months) Satisfactory candidates certified as— Office Administration. _ ...
