QUESTION 10 OF 35

Have you completed all ECFMG (Educational Commission for Foreign Medical Graduates) requirements to start residency?

This question will only apply to Foreign Medical Graduates. If you are in this category, your interviewers will need to know that you already have your ECFMG certification by completing steps 1 and 2 of the USMLE before joining a fellowship program in Infectious Disease.

"Yes, I have completed steps 1 and 2 of ECFMG requirements for my J-1 visa. I have brought the supporting paperwork with me if you need me to provide that."

If you are a foreign medical graduate, come to your ID fellowship interviews prepared to discuss the steps you have taken for the ECFMG certification. If you have any supporting paperwork, bring it to the interview and offer it to the interviewers. Be prepared with an affirmative answer to this question.

"Yes, I have gone above and beyond the requirements to be successful in your Infectious Disease fellowship program and am excited to start this next chapter in my training."
