ABSTRACT This paper provides an overview of the Scientific Support Coordinator (SSC) Training Guidebook and describes the knowledge and skills necessary for the SSC position. This Guidebook provides a principal set of knowledge and skills that a well-rounded SSC needs to successfully perform their duties. It describes technical skills and indicates opportunities for employees to acquire them. The Guidebook does not replace informal strategies, such as mentoring or on-the-job training, but incorporates all such informal strategies with more organized methods into a single document. We have included an introduction and background to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), the Office of Response and Restoration (OR&R), and the role of the Scientific Support Coordinator (SSC). We identify the SSC mandates, missions, and duties; establish the need for the Guidebook by describing the complexities of the job, anticipated turnover due to retirements, need for consistency across the country, increased need for bench depth, and NOAA Corps rotational assignments. The process employed to design and implement the Guidebook is explained, along with the rational for the design elements and content. Included are relevant examples from the Guidebook. A discussion on the use and implementation for new SSCs and the anticipated outcome from implementing this type of formalized and documented indoctrination process and training program are offered. This new Guidebook is more than a simple checklist. One goal of this revision is to be engaging for new SSCs. To achieve that goal, SSCs themselves wrote this Guidebook from the perspective of the new SSC, explaining the benefits of the Guidebook's elements specifically for a new SSC. Workgroup members analyzed the previous versions to identify the assumptions about knowledge and skills of the new SSC when they are hired, and the expected improvements in knowledge and skills that will be gained once they have been completed.

Abstract Backgroud: China has introduced series of policies to improve the professional self-image of GPs, however, Chinese general practitioners (GPs) generally have a low professional identity. This study evaluated the effects of on-job-training for medical health professionals that focuses on the recognition of GPs’ roles. Methods At a representative training base in Guangdong Province, the most economically developed province in Southern China, 62 workers from community health service centers underwent training for 6 months according to a before-after self-controlled design. A specific module related to professional value recognition was integrated into the training course. Trainees were invited to participate in the open-ended self-questionnair survey. Thematic analysis was used to explore themes within the data. Kappa test was used to compare consistency of career prospects before and after the training. Results Before training, participants generally lacked a full and clear understanding of the professional responsibilities of GPs. After the training, participants showed increased awareness of six aspects of general medical practice including a broad understanding of the term, disease treatment, disease prevention, service mode, role of general services in promoting public health, and role of GPs in a service team. Moreover, 84% of participants had a positive opinion of GPs’ career prospects and 90.3% preferred general practice to specialization as a career choice after the training. Current GPs preferred to become a specialist mainly for the higher salary, but current specialists preferred to be a GP for self-growth and sense of community. Conclusions These results demonstrate that appropriate on-the-job training can improve GPs’ professional identity in China, and should therefore be included in policies and integrated into programs for medical health professionals.
