The Majority of Your Queries Are Likely Addressed Below
The Supplemental Offer and Acceptance Program (SOAP) provides a crucial opportunity for medical residency candidates who have not successfully matched or have partially matched to apply for positions in programs that have not filled during the main Match Week starting March 11th, 2024.
During the SOAP process, you are permitted to apply to a maximum of 45 programs.
Candidates typically begin applying to programs through ERAS one hour after the SOAP list is made available through NRMP. This timely approach is important for engaging with the process promptly and effectively.
The Match A Resident SOAP Search is specifically designed to assist candidates in this critical first hour. By entering each ACGME program code into the SOAP Search, candidates can immediately determine the compatibility of available programs. This tool simplifies the process of identifying programs where candidates have the highest likelihood of success.
As you search each ACGME Code during SOAP using Match A Resident, the MAR AI algorithm automatically ranks compatible programs from 1 to 45, assigning them a gold badge (trophy).
Your Top Searched programs list is generated using Match A Resident's advanced proprietary algorithm when you engage with the SOAP Search feature. This algorithm assesses your profile against several key metrics to create a personalized list of programs.
The most probable vacant programs list is meticulously generated from an extensive analysis of data collected from past season applicants' behaviors as they navigated through Match A Resident's system.
To ensure readiness for SOAP:
- Verify your eligibility and register through NRMP to access the unfilled list.
- Prepare your ERAS application for one or multiple specialties, including all necessary documents.
- Activate Match A Resident's SOAP 45 Prep service for comprehensive preparation and strategic program selection during SOAP.
