About the Ophthalmology Job Center


What You Need to Know

Professional Choices is now the Ophthalmology Job Center
On Oct. 11, 2011, the Academy/AAOE launched a new job posting service called the Ophthalmology Job Center. The Professional Choices site is no longer active.

The Ophthalmology Job Center will use your AAO/AAOE website log in
Prior to visiting the new job center, be sure you know your Academy website log in. You may use our online tools to send yourself your log in. 

You do not need to be a member to visit the job center, you just need an Academy website log in
If you do not have a website log in, you may create a web account. If you are not sure if you have an account, we strongly advise that you check to see if you have a log in using the tools provided above before trying to create a new web account.
