Educational Commission for Foreign Medical Graduates

The Educational Commission for Foreign Medical Graduates (ECFMG) is an organization that evaluates international medical graduates’ qualifications to ensure they meet U.S. standards. It verifies their medical education, exams, and training, so they can apply for residency programs in the United States. This certification helps ensure that foreign-trained doctors are adequately prepared and qualified to practice medicine in the U.S. The ECFMG’s role is vital for maintaining high standards in medical care and allowing qualified international doctors to contribute to the U.S. healthcare system.
