How can I find out if students / graduates of my medical school are eligible for ECFMG Certification?
To be eligible for certification by ECFMG, among other requirements, your medical school must be listed in the International Medical Education Directory (IMED) of the Foundation for Advancement of International Medical Education and Research (FAIMER). If you are a medical school student and you want to apply for USMLE Step 1 / Step 2 CK or the ECFMG CSA, your medical school must be listed in IMED and your medical school’s “Graduation Years” must be listed as “Current,” both at the time you apply for the exam and at the time you take the exam. If you are a medical school graduate, your medical school and graduation year must be listed in IMED to be eligible for these exams and for ECFMG Certification. To verify that you meet these requirements, access IMED on this website. See ECFMG Certification.
