ECFMG does not evaluate colleges; it is primarily a testing service. A good rule of thumb for foreign medical degrees: if a medical degree is not valid for the practice of medicine within the country where the school is located, it should not be valid for use in Oregon. Contact the Oregon Board of Medical Examiners at http://www.bme.state.or.us/ or (503) 229-5770 or (877) 254-6263 (toll-free in Oregon).
