What are the requirements for ECFMG Certification?
Graduates of foreign medical schools commit to a multistep process costing upwards of $3000 US when they decide to pursue a residence program or fellowship in the United States. Aside from investigating schools and narrowing down specialties, candidates must obtain certification from the Educational Commission for Foreign Medical Graduates (ECFMG), the body that determines whether prospective students are equipped to enter American programs.
