The Society believes participation in the Match is important for a thorough and fair selection of candidates/programs, and wants to ensure its success. AOSSM and AANA are providing the following benefits to encourage a large number of applicants and programs to participate: The Match will include a Centralized Application Service (CAS)  that will allow candidates to complete one application and to distribute it to any programs participating in the Match, online. Non-participating programs and applicants will not be able to use the CAS. AOSSM and AANA will publicize participating programs’ names, contact information and selected program information on the AOSSM and AANA websites, in advertisements in AJSM, Arthroscopy and in Sports Medicine Update so that applicants have ready knowledge of the number and quality of programs participating. This publicity – including listing on the AOSSM and AANA websites -- will not be available to programs that choose not to participate in the Match. AOSSM will send a mailing to residents and residency directors further promoting the availability of the match, its benefits and the programs that are participating in the Match. The Society will limit eligibility to the Young Investigator Grant to participants in the Match. Other incentives will be considered and provided, as needed.
