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.
- Teaching is an essential part of residency training in the United States. Whether in the classroom or at the patient’s bedside, there are multiple opportunities for education. We reached out to an expert teacher to find out more about what you need to know about teaching and learning at the bedside. Discover more in Ask the Experts: Ten Tips for Effective Bedside Teaching.
- Having strong letters of recommendation can be extremely helpful to your application for residency. With the 2014 residency application season upon us, be sure to check out Asking for a Letter of Recommendation (LoR) for a look at who to ask, how to ask, and what information can be helpful for you and your letter writer.
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 offers new ways for certified physicians to communicate with ECFMG, for example, by participating in ECHO’s monthly surveys and sending feedback to ECHO.
