The Commissioned Corps of the Public Health Service, Department of Health and Human Services, comprises health care professionals (e.g. physicians, dentists, nurses, veterinarians, public health administrators, etc.) who are loaned to Federal agencies with a requirement for health care duties. Such duties might include clinical treatment, research, or management, as well as deployment in response to public health crises.

Employment Retention and Advancement Study

Over the past decade America has modified its welfare system in an attempt to reduce the level of recipient dependence and increase the proportion of participants who are qualified for and take up productive jobs. Government agencies have created programs to assist participants in finding and keeping employment. Early efforts often focused on obtaining jobs, with less consideration of the wage and benefit levels and support system needed for a person to retain that employment.
