Supplemental Offer and Acceptance Program (SOAP)

Supplemental Offer and Acceptance Program (SOAP)

During Match Week for the Main Residency Match, the process through which eligible unmatched applicants apply for and are offered positions by programs participating in SOAP®, that did not fill when the matching algorithm was processed.

HOW SOAP WORKS

During Match Week, unmatched and partially matched applicants registered for the Main Residency Match® with verified credentials may participate in the Supplemental Offer and Acceptance Program® (SOAP®) to try to obtain an unfilled residency position.

Key Policy Reminder: Positions offered and accepted during SOAP establish a binding commitment enforced by the Match Participation Agreement.
