Great vid Kevin! Just thought I’d add something. I’m a current med student at a uni in London and we just got an update a few days ago that we will still be able to register beyond 2024. The email read “The US Educational Commission on Foreign Medical Graduates has just announced it has changed its position regarding UK medical degrees and will continue to recognise UK primary medical qualifications for doctors who wish to practise in the US beyond 2024” so something to look into further for those UK med students

This is the most information-packed video I have seen in a long time on ANY subject.

Hi, Kevin! Thanks for taking up this topic! It was really important! Could you make more videos explaining the legal roadmaps to doing the residency and working in different parts of the world? Also it would be really cool to make a video about good places for residency for EU students, I study in small EU country, the Baltic states and I would like to do residency abroad and work abroad. I would love to know how could I emigrate and certify, or do residency and which country to.

So, I'm extremely confused after watching this video. I'm an US IMG. I'm done with step 1 and will take step 2 end of 2023. I think by 2024 my med school would no longer remain accredited. MY QUESTION IS- WILL I BE ABLE TO APPLY FOR RESIDENCY IN 2024-2025 IS MY SCHOOL LOOSES THE ACCREDITATION??????
-
I believe you have to take step1, step2ck and OET to be ECFMG certificated. Once ECFMG mails you the physical certification, you are eligible to apply for residency program.

My school is in the World Directory Medical School List. However, the sponsor notes is blank 😞. What does this mean? Can I apply for EFCMG Certification? Note I will graduate in 2027
-
What about ECFMEA and pathway 4? Are the countries in that list no longer recognized as having comparable standards of accrediting their schools as the US?
-
Make a video on how the AMA lobbying to prevent more medical students has caused a physician shortage in America!
-
Dr. Kevin any updates on the NCFMEA.
-
Does affect graduates from schools like SGU and Ross?
-
Thank you for this great update. 6:02 -- Would it be possible to apply/register for ECFMG certification and take the STEP 1 after that?
-
For ECFMG certification you needs to be graduate, Pass USMLE step 1, step 2CK, OET through pathway 1 to 6. You can't just apply for certificate and get it.
-
I'm taking step 1 in March 2023 so do I need to take step 2ck by dec2023, so that I can apply for ecfmg certification? Plzz let me know!
-
The ecfmg certification is for the final medical degree certificate
-
Can you say about the process in Canada? Please!
-
Hello Kevin, thanks for your video. I am an IMG from Ecuador and my country has not yet applied for WFME recognition, but I will take USMLE Step 1 in a few months. In order to take Step 1, IMGs are required to apply via ECFMG and obtained an ECFMG number. Is this application what you mean when you talk about applying for ECFMG certification right now? Because as long as I know, only when IMGs complete both USMLE exams, they are able to apply for ECFMG certification.

Very protectionist stance from the GMC in the UK. As a medical student in England, I am just glad that I didn't start medical school in 2024. I hope this does not continue -- something needs to change.

Hello doc I cleared step 1, six years ago. I have one year left for step 2 and OET and then apply to ECFMG, otherwise it will go to waste. However, I am not planning for a residency now but only want to have the chance to apply for fellowships in US later on and don't want my step 1 to be wasted. So I was thinking of getting ecfmg certification through pathway 1 but I am worried that the ECMFG cert will last for 2 years only. Kindly provide insight for this special situation. Even if I require to renew the ECFMG years later from the first certification, what do they ask for?or do we have to appear for the exams again for renewal of cert?

Oh no I can't work 100 hours a week what ever will I do
