The on-line Application for Pathways for ECFMG Certification for 2021 Match is now available. Qualified international medical students/graduates (IMGs) who intend to participate in the 2021 Main Residency Match® and are unable to take Step 2 Clinical Skills (CS) of the United States Medical Licensing Examination® (USMLE®) due to the suspension of that exam may be able to meet the requirements for ECFMG Certification through one of five pathways.
Eligibility requirements and detailed instructions for applying to the pathways, including information on required documentation, application timing, fees, and a limited exceptions process, are available on the ECFMG website.
In order to ensure adequate time to address any technical issues that may arise with the new pathways application, please note that it may be unavailable between the hours of 7:00 p.m. and 10:00 p.m., U.S. Eastern Time, Monday through Friday, in the coming business days if updates are necessary.
