Federal Civil Service

Some IHS public health professionals, particularly those with prior federal employment, choose to join us through the federal Civil Service personnel system. This entry path offers career flexibility and generous federal employee benefits. Because there are no age or physical requirements, the federal Civil Service is an attractive choice for experienced professionals and recent graduates alike.
