Junior in high school looking for anyone who's in the Public Health or Indian Health service. I'm just curious to know how it is, how you like it. I want to go for audiology. The website is sort of vague.

Do you mean the Public Health Service Commissioned Corps? PHS Officer working for IHS or anyone working for IHS? I am unsure if an audiologist can commission with PHS. I would imagine audiologists would fall under the Science and Research Health Professions Officer category assuming you complete your AudD and obtain your license. You can contact PHS HQ and ask them. See contact info at https://dcp.psc.gov/ccmis/contact_usphs.aspx.
