011235813 Posted July 27, 2020 Report Share Posted July 27, 2020 I realize there's a good chance people won't know about this (and likely nobody's even tried), but, assuming you've written your USMLEs, as a resident in Canada, are we eligible to try to transfer to a US residency through SOAP, like we're eligible to enter the 2nd round of CARMS? Thanks in advance! Tullius 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks in advance! Just found a document saying you need to enter through the main residency NRMP match to be eligible? Does this mean my above question, the answer is no, and if so, are we eligible to enter NRMP? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Findanus Posted July 28, 2020 Report Share Posted July 28, 2020 You're eligible to apply in the first round. You don't have to wait for SOAP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bearded frog Posted July 29, 2020 Report Share Posted July 29, 2020 US match doesn't have rounds, everyone just applies together. If you don't match then you SOAP. Current residents can reapply although they are looked at though a very different lens and usually need a letter of support from their current PD. Canadian applicants who are not US citizens/PRs will have limitations on visas, etc. 011235813 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
