VATS (the Commissioned Corps Jobs Vacancy Database) will no longer be used to display job postings beginning on July 31, 2009. Officers can use Direct Access to view new job postings placed after July 31, 2009.

Direct Access is located on the Internet at  DIRECT ACCESS

For officers who have never logged into Direct Access, you will find instructions, ID and password information when you enter the CCMIS Secure area (http://dcp.psc.gov/SecureArea.asp). Please change your Direct Access password once you successfully enter Direct Access, and provide a password reminder when prompted by Direct Access..

You can view job postings in Direct Access through Self Service by following the directions in the PHS Self-Service Procedure Guide at http://www.uscg.mil/ppc/phs/.

You can find an overview of Direct Access at www.usphs.gov/transformation.

Please note that there will not be many job postings in Direct Access at this time because it is a new system. As agency liaisons and OCCO enter new job postings the list will grow.

Applicants to the Corps are encouraged to subscribe to the Commissioned Corps Jobs Listeserver, located at http://dcp.psc.gov/v_maillist.asp. Jobs will continue to be posted to this listserv for all who have subscribed.
