TEMPORARY DUTY (TDY) OPPORTUNITIES
IHS has a number of short term job opportunities available for pharmacists who desire to work at an IHS or Tribal hospital or clinic for two weeks to six months. These paid short-term assignments allow pharmacists to work at a site and learn how IHS pharmacists practice. Two types of individuals usually apply for TDY positions, pharmacists who want to see what IHS pharmacy practice is like before applying for a full-time position and those individuals, usually former IHS externship students or employees, who want to take a break from their current job or retirement to see different parts of the country while providing valuable support for the IHS Pharmacy Program. To see a listing of current temporary duty opportunities look for the TDY Opportunities link to the left.
