| JOB REQUIREMENTS |
|
HHS-IHS-BI-2009-0153
Supervisory Medical Officer
QUALIFICATIONS REQUIRED:
All applicants must meet the qualification requirements of this
position by the closing date of the job announcement.
Basic Requirements:
Degree: Doctor of Medicine or Doctor of Osteopathy from a school in
the United States or Canada approved by a recognized accrediting
body in the year of the applicant's graduation. [A Doctor of
Medicine or equivalent degree from a foreign medical school that
provided education and medical knowledge substantially equivalent to
accredited schools in the United States may be demonstrated by
permanent certification by the Educational Commission for Foreign
Medical Graduates (ECFMG) (or a fifth pathway certificate for
Americans who completed premedical education in the United States
and graduate education in a foreign country).]
Graduate Training: Subsequent to obtaining a Doctor of Medicine or
Doctor of Osteopathy degree, a candidate must have had at least 1
year of supervised experience providing direct service in a clinical
setting, i.e., a 1-year internship or the first year of a residency
program in an institution accredited for such training. For purposes
of this standard, graduate training programs include only those
internship, residency, and fellowship programs that are approved by
accrediting bodies recognized within the United States or Canada.
Listings of accredited programs are published yearly in the
Directory of Residency Training Programs and the Yearbook and
Directory of Osteopathic Physicians.
An internship program involves broadly based clinical practice in
which physicians acquire experience in treating a variety of medical
problems under supervision (e.g., internal medicine, surgery,
general practice, obstetrics-gynecology, and pediatrics). Such
programs are in hospitals or other institutions accredited for
internship training by a recognized body of the American Osteopathic
Association (AOA).
A residency program involves training in a specialized field of
medicine in an institution accredited for training in the specialty
by a recognized body of the American Medical Association (AMA) or
AOA.
A fellowship program involves advanced training (beyond residency
training) in a given medical specialty in either a clinical or
research setting in a hospital or other institution accredited in
the United States for such training.
Licensure: For positions involving patient care, candidates
must have a permanent, full, and unrestricted license to practice
medicine in a State, District of Columbia, the Commonwealth of
Puerto Rico, or a territory of the United States. Applications will
be accepted from physicians who are not currently licensed; however,
if selected for appointment, they must (a) obtain a license before
entering on duty, or (b) meet one of the following provisions:
Waiver of Licensure Requirement: An agency may waive the
licensure requirement for positions not involving direct patient
care, e.g., positions performing disability evaluations, positions
performing solely research, or administrative program managers. If
the agency does not waive the license requirement for these kinds of
positions, candidates may be appointed subject to obtaining a
license within 1 year.
Appointments Pending Meeting Licensure Requirement: Individual
circumstances may warrant appointments pending meeting
the licensure requirement (e.g., when a candidate has a temporary
license to practice until the next regular session of the licensing
board). Persons appointed pending licensure may not be retained
beyond 1 year of appointment if they do not obtain the license.
Applicants who meet the basic requirements qualify for GS-11
positions.
Additional Requirements:
Clinical and Training Programs-Within Federal clinical and training
programs, a distinction is made between general practice and
specialist positions. General practitioners must be skilled in
recognizing various medical pathologies that require referral to
specialists for diagnostic and treatment procedures. Graduate
training and experience must, therefore, be well rounded. Specialist
positions require graduate training and experience related to the
specialty and sub specialty of the position to be filled. Experience
may not be substituted for training essential for performing
specialized duties. The length and content of residency programs
depends upon the specialization and requirements of recognized
accrediting American medical specialty boards. These boards are
authorized to conduct examinations to determine the competence of
physicians in the specialty, to issue certificates of qualification,
to participate in evaluating the quality of residency programs, and
to determine the requirements for certification.
General Practice positions
GS-14: 3 years of graduate training or equivalent experience and
training, and 1 year of appropriate experience equivalent to at
least the next lower grade level.
GS-15: 3 years of graduate training or equivalent experience and
training and 1 year of appropriate experience equivalent to at least
the next lower grade level.
Specialist positions
For GS-15: 5 years of residency training in the specialty of the
position to be filled or equivalent experience and training.
Specialized Experience is thorough knowledge of his/her specialty of
clinical medicine in order to treat a variety of patients.
Knowledge of the clinical areas of physical therapy, nutrition,
pharmacy, radiology, laboratory, and optometry to provide
supervision and direction to these departments.Specialized
knowledge of the concepts, principles and practices of emergency
medical practice.Knowledge of the JCAHO (Joint Commission on
Accreditation of Hospital Organizations) and CMS (Centers for
Medicare & Medicaid Services) rules and regulations to subordinates
in meeting the mission of the Service Unit and obtaining and/or
maintaining JCAHO/CMS accreditation.
PHYSICAL REQUIREMENTS:Candidates must have the capacity to perform
the essential functions of the position without risk to themselves
or others.In most cases, a specific medical condition or
impairment will not automatically disqualify a candidate.A
physical condition or impairment may be disqualifying if the
condition, for good medical reason, precludes assignment to or
warrants restriction from the duties of the specific position.
TIME IN GRADE REQUIREMENT:Federal status applicants must have
completed at least 52 weeks of service in a position no more than
one grade lower than the position to be filled.If selected under
the Excepted Service Examining Plan, individuals may be appointed
without regard to time-in-grade requirements.

work requirements.
