Update: World Directory of Medical Schools Replaces International Medical Education Directory for Purposes of Determining Eligibility for ECFMG Certification and USMLE

Effective June 30, 2015, international medical students and graduates (IMGs) must use the World Directory of Medical Schools (World Directory) to determine their eligibility to apply to ECFMG for ECFMG Certification and the United States Medical Licensing Examination (USMLE).

As previously announced by ECFMG, the World Directory includes medical schools that do not meet ECFMG’s eligibility requirements. Before applying to ECFMG for ECFMG Certification or USMLE, IMGs should consult the World Directory, available at www.wdoms.org, to confirm that students and graduates of their medical schools are eligible. Instructions for using the World Directory to determine ECFMG eligibility are available in the Important Notice: World Directory of Medical Schools Replaces International Medical Education Directory (IMED) for Purposes of Determining Eligibility for ECFMG Certification and USMLE®, available on this website. This document also includes examples of the ECFMG policies that have been modified as a result of the transition to the World Directory.
