Each month, the ECFMG Certificate Holders Office (ECHO) publishes free resources for ECFMG-certified physicians, and those about to be certified, who are planning their careers.
ECHO is pleased to announce that the following are now available.
- A Preview of ECFMG’s EPICSM: ECFMG is about to launch a new service, the Electronic Portfolio of International Credentials (EPIC). EPIC is a powerful career development tool for the world’s physicians, allowing them to build a web-based portfolio of their primary-source verified medical credentials and to request that their credentials, and reports verifying the credentials’ authenticity, be sent electronically to any organization, anywhere in the world. EPIC launches in April, but we want you to know about it now, since EPIC offers special benefits for ECFMG-certified physicians. Visit Introducing EPIC to learn more.
- Focus on Trends in Medical Education: Are you following trends in the dynamic field of medical education? Have you thought about how these trends may affect your medical career? We’ve selected some peer-reviewed research publications on: funding for graduate medical education, medical workforce issues, and international medical education to help you stay up-to-date on these essential topics. Learn more about them in Published Research on Trends in Medical Education.
In addition to providing valuable resources, ECHO offers certified physicians ways to stay connected with ECFMG and its expertise. Through ECHO, certified physicians can also connect with information from other organizations and experts, and each other. ECHO also offers new ways for certified physicians to communicate with ECFMG, for example, by participating in ECHO’s monthly surveys and sending feedback to ECHO.
