Is there a separate registration for the Supplemental Offer and Acceptance Program (SOAP)?
No, there is not a separate registration for the Main Residency Match and SOAP. You must be registered for the Match with the NRMP and verified as eligible to participate by the Rank Order List Certification Deadline to participate in the Main Residency Match and SOAP. There is not a SOAP process in the fellowship…
Should I rank preliminary programs on my primary rank order list?
You can rank preliminary programs on your primary rank order list to guard against going completely unmatched but do so with the knowledge that you may match to a program with only one year of training. You don’t have to rank the preliminary programs on the primary rank order list unless that is your intention.…
If I match to an advanced program on my primary rank order list (ROL), but do not match to one of the linked preliminary programs on my supplemental list, will the algorithm keep going down my list to match me to both position types?
No. If the algorithm has matched you to an advanced position on your primary ROL and is not able to match you to a preliminary position on your linked supplemental ROL, it will not keep going down your list. In that case, you are committed to the advanced position and must seek a qualifying first-year…
Should I rank all the programs at which I interviewed?
Rank only those programs where you are able and would be happy to train. Putting a program on your ROL creates a binding commitment if a match occurs, so review carefully each program’s eligibility requirements and the contract you will be expected to sign. You should receive that information from programs during the application/interview process.…
Can I view the List of Unfilled Programs if I did not register for a Match?
No. If you did not register for a Match prior to the applicable Rank Order List Certification Deadline, you will not have access to the List of Unfilled Programs. In addition, you cannot register after the deadline or the release of Match results to gain access to the List.
I already registered with ERAS® or the application service designated by the program. Do I still need to register with the NRMP?
Yes, applicants must register for both the application service designated by the program and the NRMP.
What do I do if an applicant who has a binding commitment to my program does not show up for training?
The Match Participation Agreement states that a match between an applicant and a program creates a binding commitment to offer and accept a position and to start training in good faith (i.e., with the intent to complete the program) on the date specified in the appointment contract. For the Main Residency Match®, the same binding…
How do I know if an applicant has a binding commitment to another NRMP Match-participating program?
The Registration, Ranking, and Results® (R3®) system includes an Applicant Match History feature that indicates whether an applicant has a binding commitment to another Match-participating program and whether the applicant has been denied a waiver or has a confirmed violation of the Match Participation Agreement. The Applicant Match History must be used by program directors and…
