Certification Deadline Clause Samples

Certification Deadline. The submission of information by an applicant during the application (including information submitted through the Electronic Residency Application Service (ERAS) or another application process), interview, and/or matching processes and the Match Week Supplemental Offer and Acceptance Program (SOAP), as well as information submitted in the course of waiver requests, violation investigations, and/or arbitration proceedings, that is false, misleading, incomplete, or plagiarized from another source is a violation of the applicable Match Participation Agreement. The omission of information that would reasonably be considered pertinent to a program’s decision whether to rank an applicant, an applicant’s ability to satisfy program requirements or standards, or to identify circumstances that may reasonably be expected to affect adversely the applicant’s licensure status, visa status, or ability to start the training program, shall be considered a violation of this Agreement. Applicants have an obligation to submit complete, timely, and accurate information to the programs to which they apply for the period beginning with submission of an application through the 45th day following the start date in the appointment contract of the program position obtained through the matching algorithm or SOAP. Applicants also have an obligation to provide complete, timely, and accurate information to the NRMP beginning with the submission of an electronically signed Match Participation Agreement through the 45th day following the start date of the training program to which the applicant matched or obtained through SOAP or through the conclusion of any NRMP-related waiver review, violation investigation, or appeal process, whichever is later. The NRMP is not responsible for ensuring the accuracy of information exchanged between applicants and programs. However, if the NRMP believes it has credible evidence that an applicant, program, or institution has violated the terms of the applicable Match Participation Agreement, the NRMP is authorized to take appropriate action, as described in Section 10.0 of this Agreement, including, but not limited to, withdrawal of the applicant or program from the Matching Program and reporting the violation to the American Board of Medical Specialties or the ACGME in accordance with Section 10.0.
