ECFMG\u00ae<\/sup> is pleased to announce the launch of the ECFMG Certificate Holders Office (ECHO)<\/a>, a new program that provides support and service to ECFMG-certified physicians, and physicians about to be certified, as they plan their careers. ECHO expands on the resources offered by ECFMG\u2019s former Acculturation Program.<\/p>\n

ECHO provides free resources that allow international medical graduates (IMGs) to be better prepared and organized in making important career decisions. In addition to allowing them to access ECFMG\u2019s expertise, ECHO also enables IMGs to connect with other experts and organizations, and with each other, to learn, share, and network. ECHO\u2019s feedback mechanisms offer new ways for IMGs to communicate with ECFMG on an ongoing basis, establishing a dialogue between ECFMG and the physicians it certifies.<\/p>\n

As ECFMG\u2019s President and Chief Executive Officer, Emmanuel G. Cassimatis, M.D., observes, \u201cProviding these additional services to the physicians we certify enhances their professional development. ECHO also strengthens the relationship between ECFMG and IMGs, extending our connection beyond ECFMG Certification and ensuring opportunities for IMGs to tell us what they need and how we can better meet these needs.\u201d<\/p>\n
