What is the Career Field Education and Training Plan (CFETP) designed to identify?

The Career Field Education and Training Plan (CFETP) is fundamentally designed to identify the legal scope of practice within the Air Force Medical Service. It outlines the specific competencies, roles, and responsibilities required for various positions within the medical field, which ensures that personnel understand the legal parameters of their roles. This is critical for compliance with regulations and standards, guaranteeing that service members carry out their duties within the framework established for the Air Force Medical Service.

While performance reviews, training facilities, and resource allocations are all important aspects of managing a career field, they are not the primary focus of the CFETP. Instead, the CFETP provides a structured approach to training that ensures personnel are effectively prepared to fulfill their obligations within the confines of legal and operational standards.
