Junior Officer Advisory Group

“Protecting, promoting, and advancing the health and safety of the Nation”

U.S. Public Health Service Commissioned Corps

Our History

In 1999, the Commissioned Corps leadership recognized the critical importance of developing a means for the Corps to obtain advice and consultation from junior officers in formulating policy and developing career related programs. RADM Michael Blackwell, Chief of Staff, convened a meeting of select junior officers and formalized the Junior Officer Ad-Hoc Advisory Group (JOAHAG).

 

JOAHAG was charged to develop and implement an advisory group for PHS junior officers. Their first priority was to assess the needs of junior officers and to develop an advisory group.  Subsequently, they drafted a Charter and successfully formed and implemented the Junior Officer Advisory Group (JOAG). On December 7, 2001, VADM David Satcher, Surgeon General, officially chartered JOAG.
