soap

Update: thanks for the advice everyone

I have an unusual scenario and would love some advice. I applied ortho but didn’t match so I SOAPed into IM categorical and just started my PGY-1 year. I chose IM during the SOAP vs a surgical prelim or gen surg because I didn’t think that a prelim would increase my ortho odds given my scores...

Hi guys, I applied for pathology this cycle and found out I didn’t match today. I had some red flags on my application like failed rotations and LOAs while I did soul searching. Anyways I graduated from a DO school in December so I’m sick of vacation by now and want to go back to work. I...

Hi everyone, Me and my SO are very interested in ortho and ENT respectively. Is it possible to couple match into two competitive specialties like this? Thanks for your time

US MD from above average medical school. 210s/240s for Step1/2 however I failed first attempt for CK. CS first pass. Only other red flag is I didn’t pass a class during MS1 year, had to repeat the year and did very well second time around. Originally applied pediatrics, but after failed CK...

I want to buy soap and text guides to practice soap carving. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Do positions ever get added to SOAP after it opens?

I am an American Medical Student who is applying into an advanced program requiring a general surgery preliminary program. I was hoping to live in Chicago for my preliminary program, but only received one preliminary interview for Chicago, but many in cities along the West Coast. Do you...

Was under-qualified, applied to general surgery. Didn't apply to any "back-ups" because it was my life and I was sure I would do anything to be a surgeon. Fast-forward a few months and surgery lost it's luster in December (after doing a few aways) but by then it was too late to apply to other...

Thanks to you all for your knowledge. I appreciate it so much that you do take the time to answer questions. It has helped me a lot throughout my medical school journey. I wish I could write a book for people who want to become doctors. Any way. I have two questions the first is a personal...

Hi all, Recently I found out that I did not match into ophthalmology. I am now looking towards anesthesiology. This isn't the worst thing ever, as I was having some regrets about ophthalmology even during the interview process. I have taken the anesthesiology rotation and have given anesthesia...

Hey guys. I'm a new EMT and will be working on a BLS service primarily doing patient transports and transfers (inter-facility transfers, hospital to home, etc.). Can any of you provide a CHART or SOAP template or example for how to document these transports? I feel like there's not really an...

US med student from mid tier school. My Step I was bad, my Step II a little below average, and I am in the bottom quartile for grades, but wanted to try because I fell in love with the field. I'm not ready to totally give up yet but want to start preparing in anticipation of SOAP. Is there any...

Does anyone remember the programs that entered SOAP this year? There was info on the past 2 matches but not so much this year's. Thank you

Does anyone remember which PM&R or anesthesiology programs entered the SOAP this cycle? Thank you

US-Allo senior applied to Psych, but didn't match. SOAP'ed into FM to have a job but still really want psych. Applied t0 40 programs, 5 invites, all ranked. Steps: 219/246/P. Red flag: Repeat MS-3 b/c clerkship failures, dx and treated for depression. Explained in PS. Genuinely became interested...

Congrats on all those who matched, and my deepest apologies to those who didn't. I know how dreadful not matching can be and maybe it's a bit insensitive for me to post this. I went for PM&R this year as a DO with COMLEX only, no red flags. I interviewed at some middle to high tier programs. I...

Hi, Any kind SDNer willing to post a list of unmatched programs? Is it against the NRMP rules? (Particularly looking for surgery program lists). Thanks ds

So I got the bad news today. Didn't match Ortho in the Osteopathic match. Thought about doing EM and applied to it, but decided way late that I'd rather scramble than commit to a life of ER medicine. So I am stuck in a seriously bad place. Still haven't accepted any DO positions such as TRI's...

More than 8,000 doctor graduates for each of the last 5 years have not matched into a post-graduate residency position. This "fall-out" compounds each successive year and the deficit continues to grow. Without post-graduate training these unlicensed doctors cannot work in Medicine. They are...

Hello everyone! I could really use some advice please. I didn't get into an EM residency. Honestly academically and scores wise I'm not a very competitive applicant but I did multiple audition rotations and was told repeatedly that I excelled and was a great candidate. Unfortunately it seems...

Hello! I am a graduating 4th year medical student and writing an article about students that don't match to a residency positions. I respect that this is a sensitive subject that impacts each individual's careers and take care to keep information anonymous unless you would prefer it to be shared...

Hypothetical situation: Applicant scrambles into a prelim position during SOAP. Another program in NRMP offers applicant a categorical position after the SOAP ends. Applicant has not signed any paperwork outside of the SOAP. What should the applicant do? What are the chances of a waiver...

Been a long time forum reader but I was never the type to post things. I’m the kind of person that really relied on the “misery likes company” cliche. Whenever I had any problems regarding medical school or this whole application process, I would surf these forums to look for people in the...

anyone SOAPing for PGY1? I matched into an advanced program and SOAPing for PGY-1 in surgery and medicine. Anyone has heard anything from programs? Thanks.

I guess there are some spots for residency in SOAP. Guys this is the place to share your SOAP experiences and concerns for 2016 PM&R residency position in particular. Please share.

I just completed my intern year in IM however was not offered option to renew for PGY-2 year. During remediation I resigned and managed to register for the SOAP--application not timely for anything else. Can anyone tell me what would be my chances of getting a PGY-2 position in IM through the...

This is so confusing so let me tell you what happened after the osteopathic match today and then ask questions. I did NOT take the USMLE and did NOT match today. I applied to as many programs as I could in the scramble but haven't heard back yet, although I do have an interview on Thursday. I...
