There are more than 1400 Programs, in IM, FM, OB, Psy,
& Peds alone,
upto 10 Pro 75
10 more 80
10 more 150
For 30 Programs = 305
For 100 more Programs, 100 x25 = 2500 more
200 200 x25 = 5000 more
300 300 x25=7500 more
We don't know how many of us have paid this much?
It's crazy, ERAS is looting IMGs, no doubt about it
Many IMGs are known to apply to as many as 200 to 300
Programs, bad if they have high scores and eligible to
apply to most Programs.
It is unethical for US gov to allow ERAS/ ECFMF to rob
doctors from poorer countries, and guess what even
applying to those many Programs, there is no guarentee,
actually many of the Programs don't even look at their
application.
The system is flawed, intentionally made this way to
make illegal money.
How dare USA sell ECFMG certificate knowing that they are not able to hire them all and yet keep increasing the number of ecfmg certfied IMGs
cost step 1=750 + 140
step 2 ck= 750 +140
step 2 cs= 1295
Total = $ > 3000
plus years of hard of required for preparing for the
test.
US must be responsible for providing Residency for
those who are qualified esp beacuse here there is a big
need of doctors at least now.
Or they should reduce the number of quotas for USMLE
tests or increase the pass mark for mle.
Of the 30,543 applicants, only 21,749 matched.More than
9,000 ecfmg certified IMGs did not match and this
number keeps increasing every year, each of them paying
thousands of dollars to US system. They are being
greedier every year.
This is shameful way of making money by eras/ecfmg,
something must be done about it quickly.
The truth is US needs IMGs and IMGs need USA. To get an appointment with doctors even insured people have to wait several months except during emergency, there is no harm in increasing the number of doctors at least not now.
When there are too many doctors beyond US capacity to handle then they could do like UK stopping PLAB for some time.
If US does not make right decision, it would be a country of false hope.
