What is ACE? A dvanced C hoice of E mployment • ACE is a single application tool that allows medical school graduates throughout the country to submit 1 application which is then disseminated to up to 20 DHBs within the country that you have indicated you would most like to work with. • ACE is tried and tested. The ACE system has been in place for RMOs for the last 13 years and has now been operating for nursing graduates since November 2012. • ACE is the most effective way to gain a first year House Officer (PGY1) position starting in November 2015.
ACE Principles • All DHBs have agreed to implement the ACE scheme and to work within the ACE process to match graduates to their first year House Officer positions • All graduates seeking first year House Officer positions must apply through the ACE scheme • Preference rankings from participating graduates and the DHBs are private and confidential • Neither party in the recruitment process should make independent contracts prior to the notification of the match results • Having been matched to a DHB, there is an expectation that the graduates will accept a position with that DHB. Similarly, DHBs may not appoint House Officers matched to some other DHB without the express consent of that DHB and ACE • Any applicant who declines an offer made through the ACE process will be excluded from that ACE intake, including the talent pool

ACE RMO Algorithm: Priorities 1. The applicant’s DHB preference takes highest priority. This way, if a DHB prefers an applicant, the algorithm favors the applicant’s choice of DHB from 1 st to 2 nd to 3 rd and so on down the applicants list of ranked DHBs. 2. The DHB ranking of applicants takes second priority. This way, the DHB’s highest ranked applicants have the best chance of being matched to a position with that DHB. 3. Each applicant can only be matched to 1 DHB/Position
