All About ECFMG
Today, I will go into a little bit about the Educational Commission for Foreign Medical Graduates - the ECFMG.
The ECFMG was founded around 50 years ago, and continues to be an important organization in education and training for international/foreign medical graduates.
They are involved in verification, certification, residency applications and visa sponsorship.

    Hello Mark! I had a small doubt. My college is WDOMS accredited, but my country (Bangladesh) is yet to get recognized by the WFME. My college even has a sponsor note saying that we're eligible for pathway 2. Yet I've seen a lot of people on Reddit say that without WFME i cannot register for ECFMG in 2027 even though it is recognized by WDOMS. Is WFME really required if they have WDOMS already? I say that i will register around 2027 because i will be starting college in May of 2024. In June of 2024, the current WFME recognition will expire.

      Intern ( even if you are paid , consider yourself lucky 😅) , you are not eligible for pathway 1 because you are being Supervised. An intern is mentored my Residents/ Specialists/ Consultants. To be eligible for pathway 1 , one must be a practicing physician who is Unsupervised.
