USMLE, Residency and Fellowship applicants are often faced with several hurdles and conflicting information in their search for a medical residency program. We have compiled several relevant medical articles on these vital topics and plan to keep you informed of events in the field of Medical education.
Our ultimate goal is to make all essential information on USMLE, Residency, Fellowship and the ERAS NRMP match available in one place at our website. We proudly dedicate this website to all Physicians-in-training.
Medical Residency Forum is a discussion community for USMLE, Residency and Fellowship applicants to share information on ERAS, NRMP match, the residency application process, Step 1, Step 2, Step 3 exams, medical licensure issues, board exams and specific problems faced by International Medical graduates (IMG).
USMLE & ECFMG:
Education Commission for Foreign Medical Graduates - ECFMG, was established to assess the competence of Foreign Medical Graduates (FMG) to enter medical residency and fellowship programs in the U.S.
In order to join a residency program, you should be ECFMG certified. All foreign medical graduates are required to take the United States Medical Licensing Examination (USMLE) to get ECFMG certified.
By issuing this certificate, ECFMG certifies that you have completed all requirements to begin your internship, residency or fellowship.
The USMLE exam consists of three components: Step 1, Step 2, and Step 3
