ECFMG certification - usmle369 - ArchivalUser - 12-26-2009
Hai everyone.
I am an IMG planning to apply for next match.I am done with CS & planning to give step-1 in April & CK by 20th July 2010.Can anyone please tell me how much time it takes to be ECFMG certified after recieving the CK score in my case as I would already have Step-1 & CS score in hand by then.Also, can we apply for hospitals on 1st Sep if we have the scores of step-1, CK& CS even if we are not Ecfmg certified?
Any help will be appreciated.Thnx.

yes, you can apply with CK/CS and step 1 scores. If your medical school credentials are already verified, you will get your ECFMG certificate 2 weeks after your CK report .
