The Educational Commission for Foreign Medical Graduates (ECFMG) is a non-profit organization based in the United States. It evaluates the qualifications of international medical graduates (IMGs) who wish to practice medicine in the U.S. The ECFMG certification process ensures that these graduates meet the necessary standards of medical education and training. To obtain ECFMG certification, IMGs must pass a series of examinations, including the United States Medical Licensing Examination (USMLE). This certification is essential for IMGs to apply for residency programs and obtain medical licenses in the U.S., helping to maintain high standards in healthcare.
