This Rate Training Manual (RTM) and Nonresident Career Course (NRCC) form a self-study package that will enable senior Hospital Corps Personnel to help themselves in fulfilling the requirements of their rating. While primarily developed around the requirements for personnel serving on independent duty, the information contained within is applicable to all HM I & C personnel. Among the requirements discussed are the abilities to supervise and conduct sick call and emergency patients; recognizing and treating emergency dental conditions; performing health care inspections; performing and interpreting the results of elementary laboratory procedures; discharging environmental and preventive medicine functions such as sewage and refuse disposal, sexually transmitted disease contact interviewing and reporting, and food-service sanitation procedures; ordering, receiving, and issuing supplies and maintaining the associated accounting records; administering mass immunizations; preparation and maintenance of personnel records; executing the various aspects of the Decedent Affairs Program; ensuring compliance with rules and regulations for security practices and procedures; medical aspects of nuclear, biological, and chemical defense; health care administration and programs; legal implications in medical care; and performing the general duties connected with the administration of medical departments ashore and afloat.

Designed for individual study and not formal classroom instruction, this RTM provides subject matter directly related to the occupational qualifications of the HM I & C rating. The NRCC provides the usual way of satisfying the requirements for completion of this RTM. The set of assignments in the NRCC includes learning objectives and supporting items designed to lead students through the RTM.

This manual and NRCC were prepared by the Naval Health Sciences Education and Training Command, Naval Medical Command, National Capital Region, Bethesda MD 20814, under the supervision of the Naval Medical Command, Washington DC 20372.
