There is also opportunity to work at IHS facilities as a temp in different medical fields. For example, Indian Health Service experienced pharmacists have the opportunity to temp at federal or tribal facilities. Many pharmacists do it for the flexibility in their work. Some are retired pharmacy directors from the IHS who still want to contribute; others are new pharmacy grads who had a good experience during an IHS rotation. They all enjoy the flexibility & adventure. The pharmacists can work when they want to.

I’ve made a career out of working at different IHS pharmacies as a temp pharmacist. Now I get IHS-experienced pharmacists connected to travel assignments, because of the many connections I have within IHS.

Dian, did you get any answers about licensure out of state? I am about to complete an MSN in community/school health. I have been a school nurse for many years. I am interested in volunteering with an advanced practice nurse on a reservation on a school health or community nursing project/program. I emailed several contacts on the IHS site but all my emails were undeliverable.

Hi,
I’m a RN in connecticut looking to do some volunteer work at an Indian reservation this summer. Would I have to get a license in the state I plan to volunteer in?
I would prefer not if possible.
Are there any needs beginning May 2011?
thanks,
