For Previous Graduates looking for entry level positions:

If you are looking for a 2011 open entry level position, take into account that very few positions become available after the July 1^st start date.  Check the “What’s New” section on casprcrip.org often to see if any positions are listed.   Keep in mind that residency programs are not obligated to inform CASPR of open positions after the Match, or if and when those positions have been filled.  Your Graduate Placement Director is a good contact if you are looking for positions. 

If you are a looking for an open entry level position starting July 1, 2012, you have two options:

1.   You can apply through CASPR's online service on www.CASPRweb.org.   The Initial Program Designation Deadline is November 6th.  Applications should be complete by that time as the site will shut down.  CASPR sends applications to residency programs November 15th and the application site will reopen November 16th for late designations.  Applications and designations will continue to be accepted until December 28, 2011.  Traditionally, previous graduates have not fared well in the match.  If you currently have a position and are looking to change programs, your best option is to complete your first year and then transfer into a PGY 2 advanced position.

      To apply through CASPR, send an email to casprweb@aacpm.org to request a log in.  Information about the CASPR process online can be found in the Instruction booklet in the "Especially for Students" section.  Please also check out the CASPR Applicant schedule,  in the "Especially for Students" section. 

2.   You can participate in the Scramble, which begins the same day after the CASPR Match which is TBD. Once the Unfilled Positions document gets posted on casprcrip.org, unmatched students and previous graduates can start applying to those positions listed.
