Medical Corps Chief Message – Updated Medical Corps Chief SharePoint
Good afternoon, all. I don’t send many group emails, but I wanted to share an exciting tool the Corps Chief’s office has created to improve our ability to serve and inform you about relevant topics that impact the Navy Medical Corps community. The team has enhanced our SharePoint homepage which is accessible on all CAC-enabled platforms at the following link:
https://esportal.med.navy.mil/bumed/m00/m00c/M00C1/Pages/Homepage.aspx
This new hub streamlines access to critical announcements, resources, and communication channels. It also provides an opportunity for you to schedule CDBs with the MC Corps Chief team and provide suggestions for improvements.
Specific updates that we believe will benefit you:
- Your Voice Matters: Use the Anonymous Suggestion Box to directly impact Corps improvements. Feedback will be reviewed by the Corps Chief Office, and responses will be shared with the community.
- Connect with Leadership: Easily schedule appointments and Senior Career Development Boards with CAPT Feldman and the Corps Chief team through our integrated booking system.
- See Our Impact: The “Medical Officers in Action” slideshow highlights the incredible work of Navy Medical Officers around the world. Submit nominations to share your colleagues’ stories.
- Advance Your Career: Stay informed about current openings and collateral opportunities on our regularly updated “Position Applications” and “Collateral Opportunities” pages.
- Stay Informed: Access complete materials from the recent Medical Corps Chief All Hands Call, including recordings, slides, and a comprehensive Q&A.
Please take a few minutes to visit the new site and explore the enhanced resources. I hope you find it useful and am looking forward to your feedback.
Thanks for all you do.
V/r,
Kevin
