EM Match Advice: What if I don’t match? What is the SOAP?

Although we would never wish negative thoughts to those who are applying for residency slot in an emergency medicine program this year, it is also important to be completely honest with yourself.

This EM Match Advice installment provides advice about the experience of NOT matching and the next steps.

EM Match Advice Series: The Non-LCME Applicant

Yesterday the Electronic Residency Application Service (ERAS) opened its digital doors to medical students applying to ACGME residency programs.

Students from osteopathic medical schools
Students from non-U.S. medical schools
Applicants who have been in the military service and are returning for residency training
Residents who want to transfer in from another specialty training program.
