Well it seems to be odd question but its reality too...can anybody tell what is the eventual fate of an ECFMG certified IMG who didn't get in to residency despite trying hard on ERAS/residency application, multiple years in a raw?? i have heard that “NO ECFMG CERTIFIED PERSON IN USA IS UNEMPLOYED”....what does it mean???Does it mean that anyone who passes all steps succeeds in getting residency at last (after many tries)??.........u guys what u think??????????????????

Who said "no ECFMG person in USA is unemployed"?? That is just plain not true, and I bet many of us here are living proof of that.

it is not that black and White, depends on multiple factors including Visa status.
In some states ECFMG certified can work as PA ( needs contacts, becomes very difficult if needs Visa)

Ecfmg certification is the minimum requirement to be considered for a residency spot, you need more than that to actually succeed. You need to finish a residency program to get a state medical license and board certification, only then can you work as a physician.
