NRMP SOAP: How To Prepare in Case You Don't Match

On Monday of Match Week, the NRMP informs residency applicants if they have matched. Unmatched applicants can take part in the NRMP Supplemental Offer and Acceptance Program, also known as SOAP. SOAP offers a process for applicants to secure positions in unfilled residency programs. The process is very competitive with over 12,000 applicants competing for traditionally just over 1,000 positions.    In this episode, Drs. Rajani Katta and Samir Desai discuss how to maximize your chances for success in the SOAP. You'll learn the steps that can be taken prior to Match week to strengthen your chances in the SOAP. You'll also learn about the mistakes that applicants make, some of which are disastrous with repercussions that can last long after Match Week.    Visit us at TheSuccessfulMatch.com and MD2BConnect.com for more resources to help you reach your goals in medicine.
