When you're a pharmacy officer in the Commissioned Corps, your work takes you out from behind the counter and into the world. You can care for patients as part of a multidisciplinary health care team; review, approve, and monitor new drugs; conduct research; and assist in public health emergencies. There are more leadership opportunities, greater work variety, and a better schedule than you'll find in a commercial pharmacy career. As part of a larger community of dedicated health care professionals, you'll be making a difference in the Nations health while enjoying excellent benefits and work/life balance.
“PHS Pharmacy allows for unparalleled diversity and opportunity. Our pharmacists become an integral part of a unique career path that can involve advanced
pharmacy practice, health policy development, emergency and humanitarian response, public health leadership, global health, and much more. They also
experience a balance between work and life due to remarkable benefits as Commissioned Corps officers. We desire professionals and pharmacists that want
to serve a mission, become part of something special, and that want to make a difference in the lives of people.”
