I haven't. I've been wondering that as well, so I've just been looking out for calls and checking email.To anyone who was matched already, have you been contacted by HR yet? In the email it said it would happen in 2-3 weeks, but they never specified how (phone, email, eFMS, etc.).
I had to call in last Thursday to change my email address because my college deactivated my email without notifying me. The Helpdesk person said that HR will most likely send info via email, so it was pertinent for me to update my email.To anyone who was matched already, have you been contacted by HR yet?

Did yours say a location and/or topic?I also got a confirmation match email a few minutes ago.
It's in Sarasota, FL and working on Community Health Improvement Planning (CHIP)/Community Health Assessments (CHA). It was in the email; I couldn't find it in the portal though.Did yours say a location and/or topic?

Thank you for sharing this info @16lovalloc!Hi everyone,
I called the office this morning, and she confirmed with me that everyone will definitely be receiving an email either way. She said if the email is from PHAP you got in, if the email is from HR you did not. She said that they are still going through the process, and to continue to be patient until the end of June. It's also possible that they may make final matches going into July and August. So if haven't heard anything yet, like myself, continue to be patient and proud at how far we've come in this process!
Hi! I’m the current PHAP in Staunton, VA. Feel free to message me if you have any questions!Hi guys I got matched to Staunton viriginia!

I work at the Sarasota DOH and was a 2016 PHAP in Kentucky. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions about PHAP (though things have changed plenty) or the Sarasota area.It's in Sarasota, FL and working on Community Health Improvement Planning (CHIP)/Community Health Assessments (CHA).

What are you wanting to know exactly, as I worked in KY previously. There is a high rate of overdoses in the state and KY has done a great job with getting harm reduction and syringe exchange programs at health departments across the state (BRDHD and Lexington-Fayette HD are 2 of the programs). You can find more about work being done https://chfs.ky.gov/agencies/dbhdid/Pages/kore.aspx I will also reach out and see if I still have a contact at the state, thought I don't know if you will be at the State Level or at County HD.Hi everyone! I got matched to Frankfort, Ky for Opiod/ Prescription Drug Overdose. If anyone knows anything about what this job will entail I would be SO grateful to get a bit more info. This topic is a little out of my comfort zone so I want to have a bit more information before I accept.
Hey gracejch,Hi everybody, it's me again. I was just wondering if anybody had gotten the offer, said that they would only accept with a different region/subject, and then gotten a new and better offer? Just trying to weigh my odds of getting another offer that I would enjoy more vs just getting forgotten about. I love my current job so much and I'm not 100% satisfied with this offer so they're both equally great opportunities and I don't know what to do!
Alternatively, if you know what "adolescent/school-based sexually transmitted disease prevention" position would look like, please please please reach out!!!
Great to connect and thank you for those resources! Can you email me [email protected] ? I have a couple follow up questions.What are you wanting to know exactly, as I worked in KY previously.

I got my offer and declined it. Although the location of San Antonio was great, I was not trying to move my husband and kids. Especially since my husband has a federal job out here in California. I stated that I wanted something out in Southern California so I’m just hoping that someone declines their offer here.Hi everybody, it's me again.

Hi, I'm one of the current PHAPs doing TB in Lawrenceville! Message me!I got Lawrenceville, GA to work on TB Prevention!!! GA was my second pick for location under FL (I was secretly hoping I would get GA) but Tuberculosis wasn't in my top 5 which I was a bit bummed about. Feeling super blessed atm, congrats to everyone else that got matched!! If anyone knows anything about Lawrenceville/the general area, please hmu!
Are you referring to the matching calls or HR calls?The calls are going out.
Really? What number did they call you from?I got the official offer call from HR this morning.
It was a 404 area code. I could hear other people making calls is the background.Really? What number did they call you from?
