 2019 Residency Match Resources
In preparation for the 2019 AOA NMS Match, the
AOA Opportunities website now displays updated information on match participation for AOA programs. As we transition to the single GME accreditation system, programs will achieve ACGME accreditation and will drop their AOA approval status and therefore will no longer be displayed in the AOA's Opportunities database. To assist students in tracking these programs, the AOA created a list of all AOA-approved programs that fully transitioned to ACGME accreditation. This list is updated regularly and available on the AOA's Opportunities site.
