Information technology should be called and described just if it was done before the graduation date or medical certificate delivery.

• Item xix: Other medical school attended: only if you attended some other medical school prior to the school in which you currently study or graduated from.

If my Form 186 is signed by an authorized official of my medical school, the envelope that contains the to a higher place-listed documents will exist sent to ECFMG directly from the office of that official. (Graduated and you accept not however sent whatsoever newspaper to ECFMG, usually the most common choice).
3. I have graduated from my medical schoolhouse, but my medical diploma has not been issued.

If my Form 186 is signed past an authorized official of my medical school, the envelope contains the above-listed documents volition be sent to ECFMG straight from the office of that official. (Graduated but have not yet received your medical document).

• Step 1: 895 USD.
• Step two CK: 895 USD.
• Stride 2 CS: 1550 USD.
• Step 3: 845 USD.

Paperwork:

At present, we will move on to the mayhap more boring part of the awarding to our kickoff exam, which are the paper forms that we will need to send to ECFMG. Please, it is very important that we read conspicuously the information presented hither about the necessary documents to ship. It is very detailed and clearly explains what nosotros volition need to ship. If you are in the same land that your medical school, the paperwork may not be then complicated to exercise. Notwithstanding, if you are outside of the state (as it was in my example) you lot volition demand to follow a serial of steps that I will describe later. It should be noted that this form and whatsoever other necessary course demand to exist sent direct from your medical school to ECFMG and not personally past u.s.a..

20. Paperwork forms: At the end of the page we will discover 2 options:

1. Certification of Identification Form (Form 186) – Certification by Medical School Official: This pick may be chosen if we are in the same country equally our medical school since the signatures need to be signed at the aforementioned time by the student or graduate and the school official. Delight make certain that the official signing is authorized past ECFMG, otherwise, the signature will not be valid and you lot will demand to ship the documents once more, wasting valuable time and money.
2. Certification of Identification Grade (Form 186) – Certification by Notary Public and Medical School Official: It is very important that we understand clearly what this option ways since information technology is probably the one that nigh of u.s.a. will employ if located outside of the state where our medical school is located, for example, if we are currently in the United states of america. The procedure is non difficult, many people are afraid about this function because it seems complicated only information technology is not. Nosotros volition need to have a lilliputian patience and understand how information technology works. These are things to consider:
   • First, information technology is important to understand that ECFMG needs to ostend that you sign the forms properly and in person. Since nosotros are far from our University, information technology is non possible for a school official to be nowadays when nosotros sign the grade. Therefore, if you lot are in the United States, for example, we tin can go to a notary public, usually located in loan houses (cash loans or credit agencies), have your ID (passport) and the printed form so that we tin can sign it in front of that notary public or official. Thus our signature and identity are proven. Afterward doing this, what nosotros volition need to do is transport the forms to our medical school by mail service (regular mail or any other company like FedEx, DHL, or other), so that the authorized official signs the other part of the form. With the school official's signature, the papers are ready to be sent to ECFMG straight from their University (this is extremely important, the medical school should ship the papers to ECFMG). That is all.
   • After choosing our appropriate option equally stated in item 22 "Medical Diploma, " nosotros tin print our Certification of Identification Course (Form 186) that volition exist brought with every bit to the school or notary public to be signed.

In summary, what will be necessary to send to our medical school so to ECFMG will be:

1. Certification of Identification Form (Form 186). Original course with our photo attached equally explained in the form, filled in its entirety and signed on the two parts: A: student, and B: schoolhouse.
2. Medical diploma: Two copies of our medical diploma with its respective English translation if it is in another language.
3. Photograph: A current color photograph, passport-sized, full-faced (apart from the one we fastened on Grade 186).
4. Form 345 (we take not mentioned information technology notwithstanding). It is a grade that we will be allowed to print too, which is basically an acceptance on our role that ECFMG can obtain information from our medical school. Information technology is very simple to fill out, you volition need a photo just similar for the Grade 186. We tin can download and print the form directly from hither:
   http://world wide web.ecfmg.org/forms/form345.pdf
5. Medical schoolhouse transcript: Two copies of our "medical schoolhouse transcript." Please, do not forget to send the translation to English, otherwise, ECFMG will accuse you 200 dollars for translating information technology.

In total, we will demand 3 photos. These requirements are all that we need for the medical schoolhouse credential verification and ECFMG certification awarding. One time your medical schoolhouse sends all this documentation and is acceptable, ECFMG volition accept our credentials. Remember to keep track of the status on your ECFMG account since issues may announced on the way.

ECFMG will e'er contact us to inform how is the process going on and if there is any irregularity.
