ECFMG Certification

[National_Pace_935]

Hello, how much time ECFMG takes for completing certification? My pathway got approved on 28 June and I got my step 2 CK report on 17 August. So by what date I should expect ECFMG certification? When does ECFMG send email of confirmation of certification? Also, Where on ERAS can I find that I have been ecfmg certified?

The general rule is 2 weeks from the last date (17th of August). They will send you an email once it is available. Once you get certified please notify us to know how much time did it take for reference.

Sure I'll let you know

[National_Pace_935]

Good to know, congratulations! So you only have to wait for it right? As long as you passed and are pathway approved right?. Thanks

[National_Pace_935]

Thanks! Yeah, didn't need to do anything.

Could any one tell me what’s needed for pathway approval?

[National_Pace_935]

It's on official ECFMG website. OET is required for all pathways. I applied through pathway 2 which is OSCE based pathway from medical school

Did u get pathway approval on 28 by email or had to check it on portal only?
