1/22/16 (Fri)

January 22, 2016 – Fort Sam Houston, Texas – The U.S. Army Medicine Civilian Corps (MEDCOM) will travel to Fort Lauderdale, Florida to hold two focus group sessions on February 5, 2016. The first session’s concentration is for individuals with targeted disabilities and disability advocates that will take place from 8a.m. to 9a.m.  The second session is for healthcare professionals from 12p.m. to 1p.m.

This is a market research study. The Army is gathering thoughts and opinions from doctors, nurses and other healthcare professionals as well as individuals with targeted disabilities.  The disabilities focus involves individuals who may need reasonable accommodations, along with disability advocates.  The goal is to get feedback about the marketing strategies and materials that are used to recruit civilians to staff U.S. Army hospitals and clinics worldwide. “We look forward to focus group sessions to hear from professionals within these careers. Their input will help improve recruitment efforts to fill vital job openings in our Army hospitals and clinics,” says Dr. Joseph Harrison, Chief, Recruitment and Retention, Headquarters U.S. Army Medical Command, Civilian Human Resources Division. 

The focus group sessions will be held at the Renaissance Fort Lauderdale-Plantation Hotel. Event attendees will also have the opportunity to interact with Civilian Corps recruiters to learn about the career opportunities for civilian health professionals within the U.S. Army Medical Command. All participants will receive a free breakfast or lunch along with a $75 VISA cash card in appreciation for their time and feedback. Health professionals, individuals with targeted disabilities as well as disability advocates, in the Fort Lauderdale area, interested in participating in the focus group can contact Steph Scheurer at steph@agencymabu.com to reserve a seat and if needed, to request reasonable accommodations.
