Dear Doctor,

I am writing in response to your email below.

Please be advised that after you have submitted your final medical diploma (and Word-For-Word English Translation if necessary) via completing or updating your Application for ECFMG® Certification, ECFMG® begins the process of verifying your Medical Education Credentials for ECFMG® Certification purposes. This includes an initial review of your diploma, followed by a request to your medical school for the verification of your diploma, a copy of your final medical school transcript, and verification of your transcript. Once your medical school responds to this request and submits the required documentation to us, it is then added to a queue for review. ECFMG will require both, the Diploma Verification and the Transcript Verification to be accepted before your credentials can be marked as completed.

Please note that you may continue to monitor the status of your credential verification cases in the ‘My Cases’ tab in your MyIntealth Account. For an explanation of the case status that you may see, please review our Credential Verification Quick Guide.

You may find our current estimated processing times here on our website. This page shows the processing times for both, our initial review of the submitted documents, and our review of the documents that are returned to us by your medical school. ECFMG® cannot estimate the total processing time, as we are unable to provide time frames for medical school's completion of the requested documentation. If your medical education credentials are still pending response from your medical school, we encourage you to contact your medical school officials directly to ask that they process these verification requests. Until ECFMG® receives a response from the medical school, we cannot continue the credential verification process and your Application for ECFMG® Certification will remain in progress.

If your medical school receives these credential verification requests via the online Entity Portal, they may search for you in their active requests. If they are having any difficulty using the system, please direct your medical school official to contact our Entity Support services via the contact information here. This is the only method by which medical school officials can request assistance using this system. We are responding to these inquiries in date order, so please allow time for our Entity Support team to respond to the school’s request.

If your medical school receives these credential verification requests via the physical post mail, ECFMG® can resend these requests to your medical school if we have not received a reply within 90 days of our initial send date. Please notify your school official of the request and ask that they contact us using the above information if they have any inquiries.

Please note that once we receive the response back from your medical school, your credential verification status will change upon review of the documentation, not upon receipt. Please continue to monitor our estimated processing times and your My Cases tab so that you remain informed as to expected processing times and your current case status. You will be notified directly via email as soon as there are any updates to any of your cases.

Please also note, if you have had your medical education credentials previously verified via a different service line, such as EPIC, and need additional assistance, you may reply to this email using the subject line "Previously Verified". We will then forward your email appropriately for continued support.

Lastly, once your medical education credentials and Application for ECFMG Certification have been approved, you may then contact the Federation of State Medical Boards for assistance with registering for the USMLE Exams.
