This job is open to the public. You must be a U.S. citizen, U.S. national, or owe allegiance to the U.S., though non-citizens may be appointed if qualified citizens cannot be recruited. Veterans' preference applies when candidates are about equally qualified.

Other paths include one year of approved post-school training followed by two years of independent practice, or non-U.S. residency followed by at least three years of verified U.S. practice.
