Fellowship announcements may also be submitted. There will be a separate viewing binder onsite for Fellowships. (We can only accept AOA Approved Sports Medicine Fellowships. ACGME Fellowships cannot be accepted for posting.) There is no charge for job seekers to submit their CV to the job fair onsite.
The Virtual Career Center
All announcements posted on the online Career Center will be featured at the onsite Career Fair in Kansas City. Please visit www.aoasm.org/jobs.cfm to preview the Career Center. After viewing the announcement online, job seekers wishing to contact employers in confidence can contact them directly.
The Onsite Career Fair
The onsite Fair is April 30 – May 2, 2008 at the Annual Clinical Conference. Employers do not have to be present, although we encourage it. Announcements will be placed as hard copies in binders for viewing in a separate area. There will be binders for Available Positions and Fellowships. Each job announcement will have a designated folder where job seekers will have the opportunity to confidentially place their CV’s. Job seekers may also include their CV’s in a separate binders, allowing employers to view them onsite. Remember that the attendees at the AOASM conference include board-certified physicians, athletic trainers, residents, interns and students.
An excellent way to effectively use your recruiting dollars is to rent a booth in the AOASM Exhibit Area at the Conference. More and more employers are using this method to increase their visibility to prospective employees.
