Out of curiosity I looked up the AOA match results this year and there were 2/15 PM&R spots unfilled. Anyone know where?
Also does anyone know anything about the two new LECOM rehab programs? Any early reviews or news?
 
Saw that too. The 2 unfilled spots are with Nassau (NY). I was wondering if they are waiting to fill them in the ACGME match.

I have heard that they will just convert them over to ACGME. Crazy. It looks like unless an ACGME program makes a mistake by not ranking enough candidates that there will be a 100% fill for both AOA and ACGME.

Casa Colina's program isn't active yet, right? All the info I've gathered says they're under development and not currently accepting residents.
