ECFMG Certification application requirements in 2021-2022 for the American equation

Happened as we expected… We spoke in the past on the effect of cancelling Step 2 CS and thus the extent to which it affects application requirements for America because it needs to equate your certificate and get ECFMG Certification

Today, ECFMG explained what happened as shown in the pictures

Alhamdulillah excellent news :partying_face:

Of course, the result of the cancellation of Step 2 CS exam for 12-18 months and the absence of real and effective alternatives, so the requirement has been cancelled if you want to apply so you need Step 1 + 2 CK only with other easy alternatives to the exam Step 2 CS

Of course, alternatives are available only for 2021 and 2022, then they will expire and Step 2 CS will return as it was, but if you applied to the match and started training for a year after your choice, you will not need Step 2 CS and a permanent license is granted

You have 5 Pathways solutions to get ECFMG Certification
Of course, the most important condition for any of them is that you did not fail any of the USMLE exams twice or more

The second condition until one of the solutions applies to you 5 is that you passed the English Language Exam, they will probably ask for TOEFL, which is easy and with known requirements, and they may even ask for OET especially in the last months (Details will appear in the next period, God willing God

The 5 ways to get a license are as follows:
1-You have a licence to practice medicine in your country or in any other country and this is easy
Passing any clinical exams from other exams, for example:
Plab 2, AMC Clinical Exam, NAC OSCE, NZREX

3-The college is recognized by World Federation for Medical Education WFME and it is necessary to graduate after January 2018 and the college expects you a paper that it is qualified and you have Clinical Skills

4-That your university is an American belonging to U.S. Federal Student Loan Program, and this is not for foreigners

5-It is to be a graduate from an American university but outside America and give in certificates in cooperation with America like Weill-Cornell in Qatar and Duke University in Singapore and this is not for us

Good luck to everyone, God willing

Derwa share the news because honestly it’s great news and a lot of costs will be reduced and the road is very very much shortened

Amendment 1: You must be registered and Buddy in USMLE exams after January 1, 2018, if you take an exam before it, you do not have the decision
Edit 2: You choose which one of the solutions above and you must not have a language… And not all options are enough only one of them but you have a language necessary
