The notifications came throughout the weekend, as it fell on the funds of federal scientists, doctors and professionals in the field of public health: there is no longer a need for your work.
At the National Health Institutes, the country’s biomedical research agency, an estimated 1,200 employees – including promising young investigators were rejected in larger roles -.
In the centers of control and prevention control, two prominent training programs were destroyed: one of which integrates modern public health graduates in local health departments and another to grow the next generation of the doctorate. Laboratory scientists. But the agency’s epidemiological intelligence service – “Investigators” who follow the outbreak of the disease around the world – apparently survived, perhaps a sensation among the graduates after most of its members told Friday that they would be left.
President Trump’s plan to reduce the size of the federal workforce has dealt with thousands of civil service employees in the past few days. But the discounts in the Ministry of Health and Humanitarian Services – which comes in the wake of the Corona virus’s pandemic, are the worst general health crisis in a century – was especially tense. Experts say the shooting threatens to leave the country at least a shortage of health workers, which endangers the Americans if another crisis erupted.
For example, public health officials have followed a deadly dynasty of bird flu that they say are still a low risk to Americans. In recent weeks, she claimed it The first victim in the United States A patient in Louisiana was subjected to the backyard championship.
“Not canceled,” wrote Elon Musk, the billionaire responsible for reducing its size, on social media in response to the reaction about the alleged dismantling of epidemiological intelligence service.
The shooting operations also sparked the next generation of leaders in the Center for Disease Control, NIH, Food and Drug Administration, and other agencies supervised by the administration.
“It appears as a very devastating strategy to launch the new talent in the agency, and the talent that is promoted,” said Dr. David Fleming, Chairman of a Consulting Committee of the Director of the Disease Control Center. He added: “A lot of energy and time has been spent in employing these people, and this is now delivered from the window.”
Email for the craftsman told the beneficiaries that they are “inappropriate for employment” because “their ability, knowledge and skills are not commensurate with the agency’s needs” and “their performance was not enough.”
On Monday, he issued eight officials who led health agencies during the era of President Joseph R. Biden Junior – including heads of Disease Control Center, NIH and FDA – a joint statement calling for discounts. A series of initiatives, from combating the opioid epidemic, has included primary care to rural societies, which are “vital to our nation’s economic security” and is implemented by public employees.
“These individuals are not numbers in a spreadsheet,” they wrote, hosts, “We owe them with gratitude, and not a pink slip.”
The separation processes have also rocked graduate students looking for professions in public health and biomedical science.
Dr. Michael T. said. Ostohm, Director of the Center for Research and Policy of Infectious Diseases at the University of Minnesota: “Will they have jobs? Will there be work in public health in the future?”
A spokesman for the Ministry of Health and Humanitarian Services said that it follows the administration’s guidelines and “taking action to support the efforts of the broader president to restructure and simplify the federal government.”
“This is to ensure that HHS is better to serve the American people at the highest and most efficient level,” Andrew Nixon, spokesman Andrew Nixon, said in an email on Friday.
As with the rest of the government, the discounts aim at testing employees under the age of one year in the job. But the discounts come Crupt F. Kennedy Junior, the skeptical prominent vaccine and The newly confirmed Minister of HealthHe begins his job. Officials at the National Institutes of Health are particularly concerned that it may target more employees by requesting their resignation.
Mr. Kennedy has repeatedly said he intends to clean the house in various federal agencies. He warned that he would reduce 600 jobs in health institutes. In October, after merging his presidential campaign with Mr. Trump’s campaign, he is Instructions were instructed by FDA officials “To keep your records” and “pack your bags”.
About 700 employees in the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), including lawyers, doctors and authors at the level of the medical system, tobacco, food and medicine were cut off.
The cuts on the weekend touched all kinds of health workers. They are not only scientists and hunters of diseases, but they are also officials who oversee the grants, and analysts discover new ways to reduce health care costs and computer specialists who are trying to improve the old government systems to track health information.
Ariel Kane was appointed in May to work on a new project aimed at improving the results of the mother’s health in Medicaid. On Friday, she assured her that her job at Medicare and Medicaid services centers were safe. On Saturday afternoon, she received an email that was expelled due to poor performance.
Ms. Kane said, “I was very excited to work on the health of the mother and Medicaid,” said Ms. Kane. “It is an arrogant that you have finally got the job that you wanted, and that you just have a good performance review and then it is uncharacterically launched for the weak performance.”
The laboratory driving service, a prestigious training fellow at the Disease Control Center, was severely injured, according to three people familiar with the program. Among her 24 colleagues, four were protected because they are in the wire assigned to public health service in the United States, a unified branch whose members work throughout the government. The others were abandoned.
The program, which started in 2015 in response to quality and safety fears in laboratories, is a brother to serve the most prominent epidemic intelligence, or has been developed to enhance relations between epidemics and laboratory scientists. Applicants must obtain a doctorate degree in microbiology, organic chemistry or other laboratory discipline.
Some colleagues are appointed to local and local public health laboratories. Others work at the Center for Disease Control in Atlanta. During the outbreak of the disease, such as the Corona virus, it is sent to the field with EIS officers.
“EIS has such culture and strong graduates. Dr. Michael Idimarko, who helped establish a laboratory leadership service when he was at the Center for Disease Control,” said, “Thank God,” it was my response, “Yes, but we killed the promising semi -field of the field investigation , Because no one knows that.
The agency also lost Collections of Presidential AdministrationWho were appointed to the Disease Control Center under a government initiative for decades describing itself as “the leading leadership development program for advanced grades in all academic specialties.”
The veterans of the health agencies said that they are concerned about the random nature, apparently for discounts.
Dr. Joshua M. Charvstein, a former deputy commissioner for the Food and Drug Administration (for some of these “:” If the budget is needed, then this happens at all levels of the government, but there must be a deliberate approach. “The roles are very specialized knowledge.”
Dr. Fleming, the former deputy director of the Center for Control of Diseases, said that many health specialists can earn more in the private sector but choose to join the government because they are attracted to the public service. He said that the ends will make it difficult to attract new talents.
He said: “We cut our hands to penetrate our face.”
