The US Public Health Service Commissioned Corps

Why not become a dietitian or environmental health officer in the Commissioned Corps? You could play a key role in protecting, promoting and advancing the safety of the nation! An officer in the Commissioned Corps has the opportunity to work in many different federal agencies including the National Institutes of Health, the Food and Drug Administration, Indian Health Service, and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. You will receive health care and dental care at no-cost to you and your family will receive health care at a low cost. You will receive thirty days of paid vacation in your first year of service along with paid sick leave, maternity leave and paid federal holidays. On top of that, you will receive tax-free housing and meal allowances. Don’t worry about location because your moving expenses are paid when you join, or when you relocate for a change in position. Job related travel expenses are paid for and you will have access to most military base privileges including shopping and recreation. VA benefits are a part of this extensive package deal. So how can I qualify? I am so glad that you asked! Be less than 44 years of age and a U.S. citizen, be medically qualified, have a qualifying degree from an accredited institution and if applicable, have a current, unrestricted professional license. Does this sound too good to be true? Well, they also have student opportunities available! Inquire by clicking here or calling 800-279-1605.

*No, I am not a recruiter. I just felt that this was the best way to present this information. After further research, I found out that you would enter this position as an Officer as long as you have a 4 year degree. You can find out your potential pay scale by clicking here. I used grade O-1 with 1 year of service and Tampa, Florida as my location and came up with $57,639.47 as my annual salary.
