Hi every body,
My Ds2019 was issued today and will be received by the program tomorrow. What is the next step? I am in the US right now. Should I apply for visa on my own? or ECFMG will do that?

As far as I know. You need to do this on your own. Fill out I-539 form and send to USCIS. Now let me remind you, the processing time takes 6-8 weeks. IF you opt for this option, then you may not be able to start residency till early august.
It is much better to do the embassy/consulate process. (much faster).

DS 2019 is the DS form that comes after 2018, but before 2020. Once someone collects all of the 3000 DS forms, he becomes a US citizen, and wins a free trip to Mars (one way though).
Sorry, I couldn't help it :3
