SOAP-Ineligible Applicants Clause Samples
The SOAP-Ineligible Applicants clause defines which individuals are not eligible to participate in the Supplemental Offer and Acceptance Program (SOAP). Typically, this clause outlines specific criteria or circumstances—such as prior acceptance of a residency position, withdrawal from the Match, or failure to meet certain application requirements—that disqualify applicants from SOAP. By clearly identifying ineligible applicants, the clause ensures that only qualified candidates can access the program, thereby maintaining fairness and integrity in the residency placement process.
