Has anyone gone through the Junior Commissioned Officer Student Training and Extern Program (JRCOSTEP)? with the US Public Health Service? If you did, how was your experience? Does it make your chances of getting a pharmacy job with the Commissioned Corps easier once you graduate? How long/when did you do your internship and did you get to chose which agency you worked with?
For anyone that is curious, JRCOSTEP participants work in the various operating division that make up the agencies within the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) (e.g., Food and Drug Administration, Indian Health Service, National Institutes of Health) as well as several other Federal agencies (e.g., Environmental Protection Agency, Federal Bureau of Prisons, National Park Service). Typical assignments vary from 31 to 120 days during official school breaks.
