Hello dear PTE students!
Embarking on residency in the US requires initiation into the ECFMG registration and certification process. Upon completion, you’ll acquire an ECFMG identification number and submit your Certification of Identification Form. Visit the ECFMG Interactive Web Application’s website to begin. Follow instructions diligently, confirming your non-submission status for ECFMG Certification. After submitting, await an email confirming receipt and providing details for notarizing your Certification of Identification Form (Form 186). Pay the $160 certification fee, then notarize via NotaryCam. Ensure proper identification and professionalism during the notarization process. Expect an email confirmation of certification completion within 7-10 business days, rendering you eligible for the USMLE exams.

Remember, it’s your paper’s first impression, so make it good! And if you need a case, reach out to the PTE clinics or your home-country hospitals. Good luck!
