What is phs system?

Answer 1

PHS stands for the Public Health Service also referred to as the United States Public Health Services (USPHS).

The U.S. Public Health Service Commissioned Corps is an elite team of close to 6,500 full-time, well-trained, highly qualified public health professionals dedicated to delivering the Nation's public health promotion and disease prevention programs and advancing public health science. Driven by a passion for public service, these men and women serve on the frontlines in the Nation's fight against disease and poor health conditions.

As one of America's seven uniformed services (along with the Army, Navy, Air Force Marines, Coast Guard, and National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration), the USPHS, also referred to as the Commissioned Corps, fills essential public health leadership and service roles within the Nation's Federal Government agencies and programs. The Corps has officers in many professions, including:

Physician

Dentist

Nurse

Pharmacist

Dietitian

Engineer

Environmental health officer

Mental health specialist, including clinical psychologist and clinical social worker

Health services officer

Scientist/researcher

Therapist (includes occupational therapy, physical therapy, speech-language pathology, and audiology)

Veterinarian

The Commissioned Corps is an essential component of the largest public health program in the world. Corps officers may apply to a variety of positions throughout the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and certain non-HHS Federal agencies and programs that offer exciting professional opportunities in the areas of disease control and prevention; biomedical research; regulation of food, drugs, and medical devices; mental health and drug abuse; health care delivery; and international health. Corps officers may apply to vacancies within the following organizations. Contact information for each Commissioned Corps liaison follows agency descriptions. Applicants to the Corps are encouraged to subscribe to the Commissioned Corps Jobs Listeserv, located at http://dcp.psc.gov/v_maillist.asp.

Answer 2

The Public Housing System (PHS) is a government-run program that provides affordable housing options to low-income individuals and families. It aims to improve access to safe and secure housing for those in need through subsidized rental units and assistance programs.

Answer 3

It is usually in reference to the United States Public Health Service. This is one of seven uniformed services of the USA and is probably one that should be eliminated as they don't really do anything that the National Guard, respective state public health agencies, or that federal GS workers can do.
