As a dental officer in the Commissioned Corps, you can focus on clinical practice without the demands of maintaining a business and enjoy leadership opportunities you won't find in private practice. Every day will offer new challenges as you bring oral health care and education to the underserved and disadvantaged patients who need it most. You can also work in forensic dentistry, assisting in public health emergencies and disaster recovery efforts. As part of a national team of committed health care professionals, you'll be serving your country and making a difference while enjoying excellent benefits and work/life balance.
“Leadership, service, integrity, and excellence; these are the core values by which the members of the dental category of the USPHS serve our Nation. My belief is that there are no finer men and women than the officers of the dental category. They chose to serve because they care about individuals, families, communities, and populations; about prevention, wellness, and quality of life; and about making the United States and the world a healthier place.
We hope that you will join us. Discover a career that offers rich life experiences and is both personally and professionally rewarding.”
