Medical category recruitment ambassadors spreadsheet
  • This is open to all medical officers who are interested in recruiting.
  • There are no formal requirements, no application forms, and no approval necessary by one’s supervisor.
  • Interested individuals should email Nancy Sahakian and should provide their rank, name, email address, work and cell phone numbers, city and state where they work, name of their current agency, and name of former agencies where they have worked.
  • We will provide Recruitment Ambassadors with names of medical applicants who are interested in speaking to a medical officer who lives in the same community or who works for the agency they are interested in applying to.
  • Regional ARs and Recruitment Ambassadors for the Medical Category will be able to share with the Leads for the Medical Category Associate Recruiter Program Nancy.Sahakian@foh.hhs.gov and George.Ceremuga@ihs.gov any future recruiting events (such as at medical or public health conventions) where a booth will be set up and for which they request additional help in staffing the booth.
  • This information will then be shared with the Recruitment Ambassador ListServ.
