Reminder: JRCOSTEP Opportunities

Dear Interested Faculty, Staff and Students:

The U.S. Public Health Service (USPHS) Commissioned Corps offers an internship program called the JRCOSTEP (Junior Commissioned Officer Student Training and Extern Program). The Environmental Health Officer category of the USPHS would like to invite students who are majoring in environmental health to apply for a JRCOSTEP opportunity. We strongly encourage students to submit their application by December 31, 2011, because applications will be reviewed starting in January for Summer 2012 positions. Please refer to the attached document JRCOSTEP Tips (PDF: 40 KB. 2 pages) and our website, www.ehopac.org (click on "information for students"), which will give more information about this program. Please note that other categories of the USPHS also accept JRCOSTEPs, such as engineering, nursing, and other areas of public health. You can visit the U.S. Public Health Service website at www.usphs.gov/student for information on opportunities for other majors besides environmental health.

For questions about this opportunity, please contact:

LCDR Jennifer Freed
