About USPHS
Originally created to protect the health of sailors and immigrants in the late 1700s, the USPHS Commissioned Corps' role in healthcare delivery, research, regulation, and disaster relief became critical over time. By the late 20th century, the USPHS Commissioned Corps extended its work internationally, dealing with public health challenges like smallpox, HIV/AIDS, malaria, Ebola, and other infectious diseases. Today, the Corps serves more than 800 locations in over 20 federal departments globally and is trained to respond to urgent public health crises. Over 6,000 officers (and growing) are assigned within operating divisions of the Department of Health and Human Services, with positions available for a wide range of public health professionals including physicians, dentists, nurses, pharmacists, dietitians, engineers, environmental health officers, scientists, veternarians, and more.
