ECFMG Certification is an effective screening mechanism for ensuring that IMGs in patient care situations have met minimum standards.

Each year, thousands of IMGs in the certification process apply to ECFMG for USMLE.

Approximately one-half of these individuals are successful in completing all the examination and medical education credential requirements for ECFMG Certification.

During the 20-year period between 1986 and 2005, more than 267,000 international medical students/graduates applied to take their first examination with ECFMG;

>>> of this number, only 57.2% ultimately achieved certification.
