2. 2009 Chief Professional OfficerExemplary Service Award The Public Health Service is one of the six uniformed services of the United States. The others are the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, and Coast Guard. The others you�ve probably heard of, but my service you might not know much about. Perhaps you recognize the names of some of the individual agencies in which Public Health Service officers serve, such as the National Institutes of Health, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, or the Food and Drug Administration. But even if you recognize the names, they probably seem quite remote from the issues you have been dealing with in preparing for a career in Dentistry. The Public Health Service, though, has a rich and interesting history and an important mission. That�s what I would like to talk to you about today.
