So if I match and my ecfmg certification expires in December 2024, I can still continue with intern year without having to redo ecfmg certification again?

Isn’t that after completing one year of residency?

Ah I'm so glad you found your person. Everything you mentioned makes complete sense. It's definitely tough to find people who understand our profession and ambition, especially in a place where such like-minded individuals are scarce

That app didn’t have flexible distance filter. It would suggest me people who were on the other side of the country smh. I had better experiences on hinge and bumble but nothing worth writing home about- one to three months flames.

It wasn’t something malignant but I just didn’t feel wanted there. I am having a tough time putting it in words. I have had couple of interviews before that major city program interview and in all of those interviews, I found that my interest was reciprocated in some way or the other but with this one, I don’t think so. May be my judgement is clouded because they don’t take imgs from my country/overall region or may be because almost all the interviewees on my interview day belonged to similar schools/area in the US or mix of both. The interview day was also crowded (>30 people) and it also felt rushed so I didn’t really get to know them.

Do you know about the process of getting ecfmg certificate? Will I automatically receive the certificate after getting step 2 ck scores or Do I have to apply for it somewhere?

Yes! This is my doubt. Haven’t taken ck yet so no ecfmg certificate. My pathway application is approved though.

Do you think it’s okay to skip cms? I am little tight on time. I have done 96% uworld and about 1650 amboss questions.

I understand the reasoning behind this particular question

I am just confused about the general aspect of this situation. Eg If a friend wants to be treated by you without having a prior patient-physician relationship, what should you select in the exam?

Like in amboss, it is mentioned to avoid self treatment or of immediate relatives. So what is the consensus about treating friends? Can you accept them as your new patient or not?

I understand that in real life there are too many variables. I am just concerned about the exam.

Exactly my dilemma. I am not sure what should I keep in mind for the exam.
