Are you a college graduate or someone with experience in the administrative or public health field looking for a job that will provide daily challenges, opportunities to excel, and a chance to serve the public?  Then the Health Resources and Services Administration’s new Scholars Program is for you. 

The HRSA Scholars Program offers entrance into a government career with an agency on the cutting edge of health care delivery to all Americans.  During the year-long program, participants will rotate through HRSA’s Bureaus and Offices, becoming familiar with all of HRSA’s health care access programs.  Scholars will learn skills such as management and program analysis, public health analysis, grants management, human resources administration, financial administration, budgeting and procurement. 

HRSA Scholars will also participate in distance-learning activities to strengthen their public health knowledge base and job skills.  Mentors will provide advice and guidance to scholars to help them become oriented to HRSA and to public service.

The HRSA Scholars Program has openings for Public Health Analysts and Administrative Associates at the GS-5, -7 and -9 levels.  Applications will be accepted until Aug. 14.  The projected start date for selected HRSA Scholars is Sept. 23.   

Information about the program, including how to apply and eligibility requirements, can be found at www.hrsa.gov/jobs/jobs.htm or by calling the HRSA Human Resources Office at 301-443-5460.
