I always wanted to apply for specialty training in the UK but the GMC registration also asks for an ecfmg accreditation as far as I'm aware. Could anyone tell me what countries ask for ecfmg ?
Hi, so you're saying that if we have not yet applied to ECFMG I can still come into the US? I am a UK medical student to finish in 3 years. I want to move to America and I am stressed that if I do not put an application forward before 1st jAN 2024 I will not be accepted into America in 3 years time. I plan to take my USMLE step 1 next year. Please advise me. Thank you
It's essential to note that while the new process kicks off on January 1, 2024, the transition won't be instantaneous. The existing procedure won't come to an abrupt halt. Nonetheless, to be on the safe side, we advise registering sooner rather than later. www.IMGSecrets.com
Hello Sir, will there be any problem with my application if I complete the notarycam in the beginning of january? (my country might not be WFME accredited by the beginning of january? Sadly, there are no available appointments until then
It seems unlikely that you'll encounter issues; however, there are still several ambiguities concerning the new ECFMG certification process that need to be clarified. www.IMGSecrets.com
I have verified my credentials in 2020, to apply for GMC ( UK registration ) Now , I’m considering to move to the USA ? Dos amy verification needs to be verify ?
Hlo sir i m a medical student... i had filled up form few weeks back but still didnot get any update while others got it within 1/2 days is there chance if i m late for registration?
So, if a doctor graduate from a country that is not accredited by WFME, he can use the older process. Can you elaborate the older process or can you please make a video about older process or would you mind refering a link for older process?
Hello sir i m from Pakistan Planning to give step 1 in February or march. My country is not yết accredited but is in process of accredation. If i register for ecfmg after start of 2024 for my steps then i will be able to use older process and will be able give steps or not?
Hi, individual medical school having listed in WDOMS needs ECFMG sponsor notes for applying ECFMG certification. Post 2024, the individual medical school who doesn't has ECFMG Sponsor Notes but then recognized in WFME+WDOMS, will those medical school be eligible for applying ecfmg certification?
Is any social service certification needed ? like a volunteer service in Pain & Palliative Clinics or any General Hospitals in India ? Is it valid or make strong our C.V for Residency program ?
Not entirely sure of the question. In general, this particular volunteer may not make or break, but, better to have something than nothing www.IMGSecrets.com

Thank you so much for this and also for keeping it succinct! Trying to find this information has been so difficult and I was convinced it wasn’t possible as the UK governing body hasn’t applied for WFME certification and I applied only recently as an individual. Was convinced that if it hadn’t been approved before Jan 1st (which is in 2 weeks), I would not be eligible! Really appreciate it. Would be great if the ECFMG could make this information more widely available as there’s still a niggle in my mind saying it won’t happen 🫣

You are technically not eligible to work as a family physician since your specialization is pediatrics. Your options are to do residency in family physician or apply for fellowship in pediatrics for which you don't need an exam.
