Good afternoon,

My name is LT David Bye and I am pharmacist and an officer with the U.S. Public Health Service.  I wanted to provide a friendly reminder that USPHS Commissioned Corps Junior (JR) and Senior (SR) Commissioned Officer Student Training Extern Program's (COSTEP) annual open application period is opening soon.

COSTEPs are highly competitive, active-duty uniformed service programs for full-time students pursuing their qualifying degrees. Please visit Officer & Student Training Programs<https://www.usphs.gov/students/> for further information on COSTEP.

JRCOSTEP

Junior COSTEPs serve on active duty for 31-120 days during school breaks. Within three months after the date of completion of the JRCOSTEP assignment, applicants must be scheduled to return to college or university as a full-time student; or enter a postgraduate degree program.

Application acceptance period is June 1 - July 31, 2023.

JRCOSTEP applications will be accepted now for active-duty assignments the following year. Please refer applicants to the following resources before they apply: JRCOSTEP policy<https://dcp.psc.gov/ccmis/ccis/documents/CCI_371.02.pdf>,  CCMIS JRCOSTEP FAQs<https://dcp.psc.gov/ccmis/JrCoStepCCI371.02Faq.aspx>, and JRCOSTEP FAQs<https://www.usphs.gov/media/yunnlaiu/jrcostep-faqs.pdf>.

SRCOSTEP

Senior COSTEPs serve on active duty while attending their final year of academic study and incur a service obligation equal to twice the time sponsored upon graduation. Please refer applicants to the following resources before they apply: SRCOSTEP policy<https://dcp.psc.gov/ccmis/ccis/documents/CCI_371.03.pdf>, CCMIS SRCOSTEP FAQs<https://dcp.psc.gov/ccmis/SrCoStepCCI371.03Faq.aspx>, and SRCOSTEP FAQs<https://www.usphs.gov/media/daoj3qxv/srcostep-faqs.pdf>.

SRCOSTEP applications will be accepted for students who are graduating in 2025 or early 2026 with a degree in the following disciplines: medicine, nursing, dentistry, pharmacy, psychology, veterinary medicine, environmental health, engineering, speech-language pathology, audiology, research science, or occupational, physical, or respiratory therapy..

Application acceptance period is June 1 - September 30, 2023.

As of June 1, 2022, SRCOSTEP participants are also subject to the Commissioned Service Obligation<https://dcp.psc.gov/ccmis/ccis/documents/POM_821.85.pdf> upon graduation. Please review the CSO CCMIS FAQs<https://dcp.psc.gov/ccmis/CCD122_02Faq.aspx>.

Any additional questions regarding the current COSTEP open application period can be submitted to PHSCostep at hhs.gov<mailto:PHSCostep at hhs.gov>.

I am also available to help answer questions as this is a program that I participated in prior to graduating in 2018.  Our contact information may not be up to date with your school, so please let me know if there is a different faculty member I can share this with.  Please feel free to share with students of the eligible cohorts as well as with programs of eligible disciplines at your school.

Thanks so much!
