I'm hoping a program director or someone involved with residency programs might be able to answer my question...is the ECFMG certificate required to apply for a training license?
I will be finished with my last rotation at the end of May, and by the time my evaluation grade is entered into the system and my school actually submits my transcript and diploma to ECFMG it will be early June. Since it takes anywhere from 2-6 weeks to obtain the ECFMG certificate how will I be able to start my residency in July if I don't have my certificate at that time? Is my residency program allowed to apply for a training license even if I'm not ECFMG certified?
