Residents Who Found Their Match
Outside the MATCH process
“I found my IM position within a week of subscribing. The list is comprehensive and actually updated — unlike other sites I tried.”
“After not matching twice, this list gave me the edge I needed. Found an open categorical spot and got my position outside SOAP.”
Common Questions
What is SOAP and how do open residency positions work?
SOAP (Supplemental Offer and Acceptance Program) is the NRMP process for filling unmatched positions after Match Day. Open Residency Positions maintains a comprehensive list of programs with openings both during and outside the official SOAP window.
What is included in the SOAP Survival Kit?
Members get instant access to 4 professionally designed PDFs: a day-by-day SOAP strategy guide (Day 0–4), ready-to-send email templates and phone scripts for program outreach, a guide on exactly what program directors look for during SOAP, and a printable master checklist to keep you on track throughout Match Week. All updated for 2026.
What is in the Application Template Pack?
The Application Template Pack includes 7 documents to build a complete ERAS application: a quick-start guide, a formatted CV template (PDF + editable Word file), a personal statement blueprint with a full 780-word example, word-for-word ERAS activity descriptions, a red flag guide for addressing gaps or low scores, and a cover letter template for both standard and SOAP outreach. All documents are updated for the 2026 ERAS cycle.
Can IMGs apply to open residency positions?
Yes. Our list includes positions open to US MDs, DOs, and International Medical Graduates (IMGs). Each listing includes relevant eligibility details.
What specialties have the most open positions?
Internal Medicine, Family Medicine, and Psychiatry typically have the highest number of open positions, followed by Pediatrics and Neurology. We cover 40+ specialties in total.
How often is the list updated?
The list is updated every week. During active SOAP season, we increase our update frequency to keep pace with rapidly changing program availability.
Does lifetime access ever expire?
No. Your $39.95 one-time payment gives you permanent access to the list, SOAP Survival Kit, and Application Template Pack. No monthly charges, no annual renewals — you pay once and everything unlocks forever.
What is the Match Chances Calculator?
The Match Chances Calculator is a free tool available to everyone at openresidencypositions.com/match-chances-calculator. Enter your Step scores, clinical grades, and research experience and it estimates your competitiveness across 18+ specialties — helping you decide where to focus your SOAP applications.
