SUBJECT: Status Report on DA Goals for 1988
REFERENCES:
A. Memo to DCI from DDA dated 6 Jan 87
subject: The DA - Goals for 1988

B. Memo to DCI and DDCI from DDA dated

1. The Office of Medical Services' response to References A

presented below:
Reference A
b. During 1988, OMS launched a concerted effort to
recruit minorities for its various occupational disciplines.
We achieved moderate success in this endeavor by E0Ding two
black female clericals and by the transfer into OMS from
elsewhere in the Agency of one female Hispanic records clerk
and one male Hispanic Medical Service Officer (MSO). We are
currently processing two male Hispanic MSO applicants who are
in various stages of the hiring pipeline, and who we
anticipate E0D1ng in early 1989. In addition, we will be
sponsoring one "MUPIE" as a pre-medical student beginning in
the summer of 1989.
e. OMS has placed increased emphasis on career
development by encouraging employees to take advantage of the
numerous internal Agency training courses, as well as
promoting external sponsorship in academia. Up to the present
STAT time, OMS managers have attended one or more management
STAT training courses and OMS employees are being sponsored
for full-time academic training for one year or more. This
25X1 represents approximately of our total on-board full-time
staff.

2. OMS will continue to improve its progress toward
accomplishing the goals that we established for ourselves in 1988
and will accomodate new goals for 1989 by shifting some of our
existing resources and through acquisition of increased resources
to meet our continuing challenges in support of Agency
requirements.
