SOAP Note Rubric
Key points: SOAP = Subjective; Objective; Assessment; Plan. A common mistake that students make is to combine the ROS (review of systems) with the physical exam. However, the ROS is subjective—what the patient tells you. The PE is objective: your observation through examining the patient. The ROS belongs in the Subjective portion and the PE belongs in the Objective portion of the note. For 693 passing for SOAP notes is 80% or higher.
