REFERENCE Memorandum from CMMO/DD/M&S, dated
4 October 1973, subject as above
As requested, the views and recommendations of the
Medical Career Service on the two issues raised in the
referent memorandum are as follows,

A one-time cash award under the provisions of
the Federal Awards Act, in our judgment, would be
appropriate as recognition in this respect. We
would also recommend. however, that the obtaining
of Board Certification by an American Specialty
Board on the part of an Agency medical officer,
principally on his own time, also be included in
such awards system. Monetary award for such certi-
fication should be at least as high as that for
obtaining the Ph.D. degree.

though the new Fitness Report may not contain any
explicit comments concerning potential other than
that related to job requirements. We believe this
judgmental matter is well within the competency of
panel members.
b. Since we, of course, have had no experience
ith the new Fitness Report, we do not feel qualified
to suggest how the attributes referred to above can
be used in recording performance evaluations in th.e
new Fitness Report. Certainly, in our experience
with the current Fitness Report we have found no
problem in covering -- in the narrative portion --
attributes such as those suggested by the DD/MOS.
c. We would like to suggest one other means for
comparative evaluations that lays particular emphasis
on potential in the widest sense. This is the Assess
ment Center technique. We have on other recent occa-
sions and in other papers dealt at some length with
this, and our Psychological Services Staff has done
considerable work in this area. We recommend this
for your consideration in connection with the current
matter. We would be pleased to assist in any such
consideration.
