"It depends upon the location. IHS is different everywhere you go."

What do you like about working at Indian Health Service?

"The population."

Do you have any tips for others interviewing with this company?

"You need to research what population you would be serving. The locations are all very different. It's a good learning place but due to limited funding is not very innovative. Lot of historical issues and it takes time to win acceptance."

What don't you like about working at Indian Health Service?

"Very inefficient. Not cutting edge. Difficult to find proper care for patients in referral to specialists."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"Put the mission of patient care first. Organize like the private sector. Accountability is almost nil because it is a federal agency."
