Some large hospitals use this strategy when they have difficulty recruiting for certain scarce specialties among US citizens (anesthesiologists). They will sponsor H1Bs who can meet the other requirements (like ECFMG). They know they will keep them for at least 6 yrs.

Foreign Medical Graduates in the USA are required to pass an exam, USMLE, to be licensed. They must also obtain ECFMG Certification from the Educational Commission for Foreign Medical Graduates before applying for residency training programs.

So not only is the school she attended the second best, but it has a 42% acceptance rate. So it’s very competitive, also they have a 92% success rate at passing the USMLE. But to take it, you first have to pass the ECFMG which supposedly is quite difficult to do.

1/2 the doctors I see in NY were born elsewhere
Foreign medical schools grads, including Americans, must obtain certification from the Educational Commission for Foreign Medical Graduates (ECFMG)
This involves passing the US Medical Licensing Examination (USMLE) series & meet other criteria
Not easy

*UPDATE*: Albany Medical College confirms: the 15-month gap between when Stephanie Haridopolos, Acting Chief of Staff to the Surgeon General, obtained her MD from the for-profit Caribbean business and when she began residency is she was unable to pass ECFMG for 9 months, delaying her start 1 year.

*UPDATE*: Stetson confirms it has never awarded Associate's degrees, and it doesn't (and didn't in 1994) award two separate Bachelor's degrees.

Haridopolis claims to have earned an AS in Science, a BS in Biology, and a BS in Chemistry.

Only the third is true.

Updates in original article below:

If one of these is right, the other is wrong.

How does someone not know whether they earned one BS, two BSs, or one AS and one BS?

And how does that someone not know where they obtained their MD? If they did an internship? When they completed residency? Whether they have public health experience?

I wish ecfmg would simply accept my Twitter account as proof that I understand English. The OET exam costs 450$ ffs.

All communities will suffer. Trump's Jan 2017 Muslim ban of 7 countries prevented 5% of foreign medical graduates (8,000 physicians) from entering the US, meaning the total number of FMGs is 160,000

Most FMG's are on J1 visas, but a $100,000 H1B fee applied to hospitals would eliminate this pathway
In January 2017, a Presidential Executive Order blocked citizens of seven Muslim-majority countries from entering the US. 25 This executive order was upheld by the Supreme Court in June 20182 Jena and colleagues studied the effect this ban could have and found that physicians trained in those banned countries comprise 5% of FMGs practicing in the USA, a total of approximately 8000 physicians.27 J1 visa Apply for ECMG approval (4-6 weeks) ECFMG approval granted Match results become available in mid-March Apply for actual visa through respective U.S. consulate Start in July. Process may be delayed if visa rejected or subjected to security clearance Apply for USCIS approval (weeks to months) USCIS approval granted H1B visa Apply for medical license in state of GME training program (weeks to months) State medical license granted Figure 1 Timeline for appling for J1 and H1B visas after the Match.

Reading my USMLE 2025 Bulletin like the exam application says I should, and does this mean what I think it means and that Canadian medical school graduates are considered IMGs by ACGME after July 1st, required to go through ECFMG etc.?

cc: jbcarmody.bsky.social
Page 6 of the USMLE 2025 Bulletin, which reads in part: Impact of Change to Accreditation Body for Medical Schools in Canada Effective in July 2025 Currently, medical education programs in Canada leading to the MD degree are accredited by both the Liaison Committee on Medical Education (LCME) and the Committee on Accreditation of Canadian Medical Schools (CACMS). Effective July 1, 2025, CACMS will become the sole accrediting body for medical education programs in Canada. Accreditation by LCME establishes eligibility to take the USMLE and to enter U.S. residency programs accredited by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME). In the absence of LCME accreditation for Canadian medical education programs, Canadian medical school graduates will establish their eligibility for USMLE and ACGME-accredited residency programs through ECFMG Certification. This means that individuals who graduate from Canadian medical schools on or after July 1, 2025 will be considered international medical graduates (IMGs) for the purpose of entry into graduate medical education (GME) programs in the United States, and, in order for these graduates to enter ACGME-accredited residency programs, the ACGME will require that they either obtain ECFMG Certification or hold a full and unrestricted license to practice medicine in the U.S. licensing jurisdiction in which the ACGME-accredited program is located. ECFMG Certification is the standard for evaluating the qualifications of IMGs entering the U.S. health care system and includes requirements for medical schools, examination requirements (which include USMLE Step 1 and Step 2 CK among other requirements), and verification of medical education credentials directly with the issuing institution. For more detailed information, please visit the ECFMG website. Individuals who will graduate from Canadian medical schools on or after July 1, 2025, will be able to apply for ECFMG Certification beginning in late spring 2025, prior …
