Both the Civil Service and the Commissioned Corps are federal employment opportunities. Whereas Civil Service is direct federal employment with no multi-year commitment, the Commissioned Corps is part of the USPHS and requires a minimum two-year service commitment. For dentists accepting a signing bonus the commitment is four years. Note that the IHS Loan Repayment Program requires a minimum two-year initial employment commitment.
