FROM : Chief, Medical Staff
SUBJECT: Medical Selection
1. As previously suggested, selection of personnel for
Disaster Planning purposes should be subject to medical screen-
ing.
2. Medical screening should not consist of the usual ap-
plication of medical standards. To obviate unnecessary examina-
tions and to maintain security, the following procedures will
apply:
a. The identity of each selectee will be furnished
the Medical Office.
b. The medical file of the selectee will be examined
and the medical evidence existing in the file will be used
as a basis for adjudication of selection.
c. Selectees will be medically disqualified only if
their assignment would result in death, serious illness
or require complex treatment.
d. Selectees without medical evidence in file will
be maintained in a separate list. The problem of obtain-
ing medical evidence in these cases will be considered
only after the screening is complete.
e. No case will be disqualified without concurrence
of the Chief, Medical Staff.
3. The problem of screening is the function of Technical
Services, not PCD.
