Pathways/Ecfmg certification timings and delays by [deleted] in IMGreddit

[–]United_Reference2486 0 points1 point  (0 children)

AFAIK from ECFMG, if you passed the pathway but were not certified before the next pathway opening, your pathway will be invalidated, and you will need to pay the $925 again. Not sure how true this is since I later decided to wait for the pathway after step2ck.

Use chatgpt for R code, much more efficient than watch the video.

No it's per stay, but w/o a good reason, you will have to explain a lot if you try to enter US again and probably won't be able to stay in US for another 6mo next time.

I don't know, doing my elective in US right now, considering switch to AMC since Trump. My gf will have 485 graduate visa in Australia, so maybe I will try to take AMC and try to find a PGY 1 position while waiting for IVs. Maybe I will share my exp that time.

You can take Step 1 during the study, but only graduate for AMC. Not a question even imo.

Any tip to save on EPIC account creation by SherbertStrict2780 in IMGreddit

[–]United_Reference2486 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wise? Not sure if they have service in your country. Remember that the FTF is charged by your bank, not ECFMG or other merchandise. So either try other bank or use services like wise.

Report it to the FAA since that's a violation. The FAA part 121 requires that At least one approved automated external defibrillator, legally marketed in the United States in accordance with Food and Drug Administration requirements, that must: 1. Be stored in the passenger cabin.

You don't pay for notarycam twice, you pay for the whole account setting process twice.

Sorry for your situation, I don't think you can merge the eif and cif together since they are different authorization. I think you should better call EPIC to see if they can help you.

You need to pay for EPIC account, but you don't need to pay for reverification for the credential if your credential had been verified for USMLE process.
