The United States Public Health Service Commissioned Corps (PHSCC),[5] also referred to as the Commissioned Corps of the United States Public Health Service,[6] is the federal uniformed service of the U.S. Public Health Service (PHS), and is one of the seven uniformed services of the United States.
