    Environmental Health Officer - Atlanta, United States - US Navy

    US Navy background
    Description
    The world is taking communicable diseases more seriously than ever before. And if you're an Environmental Health Officer, nothing else has ever been more important. That's because doctors like you commit their careers to analyzing and preventing the transmission of viruses and biological agents. When you're a Sailor living in aboard ships and submarines, avoiding illness is critically important to the mission.

    For Environmental Health Officers, that means making sure the workplace remains safe and clean, including proper food service sanitation and water treatment practices as well as assessing and responding to viral and bioterrorism threats.

    We need our Sailors in top health at all time, and we're calling on people like you to help lead the way.

    Navy Environmental Health Officers (EHOs) focus on the prevention and control of diseases in Navy and Marine Corps populations.

    In this role, your responsibilities may include:
    Determining effective methods of assessing threats to public health
    Conducting ongoing disease and environmental surveillance
    Identifying potential dangers and developing countermeasures for actual and potential threats
    Providing guidance to Commanding Officers on matters relating to public health and sanitation
    Championing essential programs that protect public health and promote sanitary practices
    Earning a nationally recognized credential as a Registered Environmental Health Specialist (REHS) from the National Environmental Health Association
    This role covers many areas of specialization.

    As an EHO, your work may focus on:
    Food service sanitation and safety
    Public health sanitation
    Water and wastewater safety in both ashore and afloat environments
    Communicable disease control
    Risk communication
    Biostatistical and epidemiological threat assessment
    Thermal stress control
    Vector control
    Preventive medicine
    Disease outbreak prevention and investigation
    Bioterrorism defense

    Navy Environmental Health Officers may serve at any one of more than 250 Navy and medical facilities around the globe, from Hawaii to Japan, Germany to Guam, and Washington, D.C.

    to Washington state.

    As an EHO, you could work at one of the highly acclaimed National Naval Medical Centers in Bethesda, MD; Portsmouth, VA; and San Diego, CA.

    Or you could provide support to pilots and air crews aboard one of two dedicated hospital ships, the USNS Comfort and USNS Mercy.

    You could even conduct research at the Navy Environmental Health Center (NEHC) in Portsmouth, VA.
    Upon completion of college or graduate school, those pursuing an Environmental Health Officer position are required to attend

    Officer Development School (ODS)

    in Newport, RI.

    ODS is a five-week program that provides a comprehensive and intense introduction to the responsibilities of Navy Staff Corps Officers.

    Here they learn about the military structure of the U.S. Navy, its rich history of traditions and customs, leadership development and military etiquette.

    Once training is complete, you may be assigned to a Naval Medical Center, a dedicated hospital ship, or the Navy Environmental Health Center (NEHC) in Portsmouth, VA.

    Promotion opportunities are regularly available but competitive and based on performance.
    It's also important to note that specialized training received and work experience gained in the course of service can lead to valuable

    credentialing and occupational opportunities

    in related fields.

    Wherever you are in your professional career, the Navy can help ease your financial burdens and advance your career with generous financial assistance and continuing education programs.


    Opportunities for further education within this platform include:
    Navy College Program

    VOLED Assistance Center

    VOLED Region Advisors

    The Naval Postgraduate School (NPS)

    Naval War College (NWC)

    USAF Air University Air Command and Staff College

    Navy Health Professions Loan Repayment Program (HPLRP) , you may be eligible to receive financial assistance to pay down the cost of your graduate education.

    Graduate Students
    In the

    Navy Health Services Collegiate Program (HSCP)

    you can receive up to $134,600 while finishing a degree. This includes a monthly military salary, a generous housing allowance and a comprehensive health-care benefits package.
    A degree from a four-year college or university is a minimum educational requirement to become a

    Commissioned Officer . You must also attend Officer Training. There may be exceptions to the degree requirements based on extensive service experience.

    currently serving , whether you've

    served before

    or whether you've

    never served before .

    Serving part-time as a Navy Reserve Officer, your duties will be carried out during your scheduled drilling and training periods.

    During monthly drilling, Environmental Health Officers in the Navy Reserve typically work at a location close to their homes. This gives you the flexibility to expand your profession in the Navy without compromising your civilian practice at home.

    For Annual Training, Environmental Health Officers may serve anywhere in the world, whether at sea, in hospitals stateside, or on bases in countries around the world.

    Take a moment to learn more about the

    general roles and responsibilities of Navy Reserve Sailors.
    Most of what you do in the Navy Reserve is considered training.

    The basic Navy Reserve commitment involves training a minimum of one weekend a month (referred to as drilling) and two weeks a year (referred to as Annual Training) – or the equivalent.

    Environmental Health Officers in the Navy Reserve serve in an

    Officer

    role. Before receiving the ongoing professional training that comes with this job, initial training requirements must first be met.

    For current or former Navy Officers (NAVET): Prior experience satisfies the initial leadership training requirement, so you will not need to go through Officer Training again.

    For current or former Officers of military branches other than the Navy (OSVET), as well as for Officer candidates without prior military experience: You will need to meet the initial leadership training requirement by attending the 12-day Direct Commission Officer (DCO) School in Newport, RI.

    This will count as your first Annual Training.
    With flexible training options, Medical Service Corps Officers in the Navy Reserve can comfortably balance civilian and military schedules.

    You can maintain your own life and your own career – enriching both with the rewarding work you do for others.

    The Medical Service Corps in the Navy Reserve offers you a truly diverse variety of operational venues. In some cases, you can even work in the same civilian location you work in now. What's more, you will enjoy an unrivaled sense of pride and fulfillment known only to those who serve.
