Do you qualify for GS-5 to GS-11?

With experience: You need one year of experience that shows knowledge of basic anatomy and medical terms, accounting, inventory management, and computer software, and that shows you can work alone and on a team. For higher grades, you need one year of experience related to the job at the grade just below, such as one year at GS-5 level for GS-7.

With education: A bachelor's degree from an accredited school plus at least 24 semester hours of coursework in health care, public administration, or business. Examples include prosthetics, orthotics, physical therapy, or business law. A transcript is required if you use education to qualify.

How to apply well

Tips for this job:

  • Describe your experience clearly and specifically, because the agency will not assume anything about it.
  • If you use education to qualify, attach a transcript showing the 24 semester hours of coursework.
  • Claim veterans' preference in the questionnaire and attach your DD-214 and SF-15 if they apply.
