Hello all! I finally got my ECFMG certification after a very long process!!! It's application season and for IMGs, ECFMG certification is one of the requirements for residency programs here in the US. I just want to share some tips on how to avoid delays in ECFMG certification, especially if your medical school does not participate in the web portal (like mine).
