  Association of Occupational and Environmental Clinics CLEARINGHOUSE/MATCHMAKER FOR RESIDENCY APPLICANTS NOT ACCEPTED BY PROGRAMS TO WHICH THEY APPLIED AOEC will once more act as a clearing house/matchmaker for residency applicants not accepted by the programs to which they applied. Over the past three years we have also opened this up to qualified individuals who for whatever reason did not apply in time for the December decision. There is no fee for either the clinics or the applicants but this is a service for residencies affiliated with AOEC member clinics only. This service is open to any applicants who would be qualified for an occupational residency but was not accepted into a residency program during the regular match in December. The candidates should contact the AOEC office with a copy of their CV and any time or geographic limitations they may have. (We have had candidates who wanted to stay on the west coast and those who refused to leave the balmy southlands.) CVs are accepted by mail, fax and e-mail. Once we receive the CV, we post a brief summary of the candidates qualifications via e-mail to all the AOEC designated residency representatives and either e-mail or fax copies to interested programs. We do not post summaries for candidates who have not passed the ECFMG exam. We also do not post summaries unless candidates are either currently in or have completed a PGY-1 year. We have found matches for a small but significant number of residents each year. We will post this message several times over the next few months. Last year our final placement occurred after AOHC. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact the AOEC. This task will be shared this year by Ingrid Denis and myself so feel free to e-mail or talk with either of us. The e-mail addresses are idenis@aoec.org or kkirkland@aoec.org. Telephone for both is 202-347-4976. Fax number is 202-347-4950. --
