What is a “partially-matched” applicant?
If you still have questions, our team is available to assist you. Contact us for additional support.
An applicant who matches to a PGY-1, preliminary or transitional year position only or to an advanced, PGY-2 position only would be considered partially matched. Partially-matched applicants should only apply to programs for which they are eligible during SOAP.
SOAP-eligible partially matched applicants can access the List of Unfilled Programs in the NRMP’s R3 system under the SOAP tab, which will appear at the start of SOAP. NRMP is the authoritative source for applicant SOAP eligibility. The List of Unfilled Programs will show only programs for which the applicant is eligible based on their matched status.
Each application service will display all the unfilled programs using that service for SOAP. Applicants are responsible for ensuring they apply only to positions for which they are eligible, as shown on the SOAP List of Unfilled Programs in the NRMP’s R3 system.
