Fairfax, VA ― The American Society of Ophthalmic Administrators (ASOA) today announced that it would offer free use of its Web-based CareerNet to help ophthalmic professionals dislocated by Hurricane Katrina. 

“We realize that many ophthalmic professionals are still unemployed and looking to relocate after the destruction of their practices,” said Eileen Giaimo, Executive Director for ASOA, adding, we hope this will help to ease their transitions.”

CareerNet can be accessed by going to the ASOA home page, www.asoa.org, and selecting it from under the “services” drop-down menu.  Numerous jobs are also posted in the “Katrina Assistance: Jobs - Positions Wanted” document posted under News Updates on the ASOA home page. One need not be a member of ASOA to avail themselves of these services.  The free use of CareerNet will extend through the end of 2005.
