US Residency Pathway: ECFMG Certification

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.

My Thesis Experience

I successfully defended my thesis on Investigating the Symptoms and Risks of the Female Athlete Triad Among University Students at the Sports Medicine center. My journey involved changing supervisors, conducting a survey study, and using email consultations. The defense went well, with a concise presentation and positive feedback from the committee. If you need tips or have questions, feel free to ask!
