The Educational Commission for Foreign Medical Graduates: global efforts in graduate medical educationM Miranda. Med Educ. 1995. Show AbstractIn addition to its certification programme, which assesses the readiness of foreign medical graduates to enter graduate medical education programmes in the USA, the Educational Commission for Foreign Medical Graduates (ECFMG) is involved in a number of other programmes in international medical education. These include: (1) continuing to provide sponsorship for exchange visitors in graduate medical education programmes in the USA; (2) the development of a clinical skills assessment that is currently being introduced in pilot projects in the USA and abroad and will eventually become a component of the ECFMG certification process; (3) funding and administration of two fellowship programmes that provide foreign scholars (clinicians and basic scientists) with the opportunity to spend up to one year in a US medical school; (4) collaboration with the World Health Organization on the upcoming revised edition of the World Directory of Medical Schools; and (5) co-sponsorship, with the World Health Organization, of a consultation on quality medical education oriented towards attaining a global consensus on the definition and the elements of quality in medical education and on the most appropriate ways to evaluate quality.

Graduates of foreign medical schools: progression to certification by the Educational Commission for Foreign Medical Graduates. The Educational Commission for Foreign Medical Graduates (ECFMG), through its program of certification, assesses whether international medical graduates are ready to enter residency or fellowship programs in the United States that are accredited by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME). ECFMG and its organizational members define an international medical graduate as a physician who received their basic medical degree or qualification from a medical school located outside the United States and Canada. To be eligible for ECFMG Certification, the physician's medical school and graduation year must be listed in the World Directory of Medical Schools. To verify that a particular medical school and graduation year are listed, access the directory. Citizens of the United States who have completed their medical education in schools outside the United States and Canada are considered international medical graduates; non-U.S. citizens who have graduated from medical schools in the United States and Canada are not considered international medical graduates. ECFMG Certification assures directors of ACGME-accredited residency and fellowship programs, and the people of the United States, that international medical graduates have met minimum standards of eligibility required to enter such programs. ECFMG Certification does not, however, guarantee that these graduates will be accepted into programs, since the number of applicants frequently exceeds the number of available positions. ECFMG Certification is one of the eligibility requirements for international medical graduates to take Step 3 of the three-step United States Medical Licensing Examination (USMLE). Medical licensing authorities in the United States require ECFMG Certification, among other requirements, to obtain an unrestricted license to practice medicine. The Educational Commission for Foreign Medical Graduates (ECFMG) is the only institution approved by the US Department of State to sponsor international medical graduates to enter the US on J-1 exchange visitor visas in the "Alien Physician" category to participate in clinical training for residencies and fellowships.
