Hello,

I attended two medical schools and the policy for the ECFMG certification is that:

"Credits must be for courses that were passed at the medical school at which the course was taken."

I did not pass microbiology at my old university but I did receive some credits.

This was then used in my new university because their microbiology course was part of a bigger course called "life sciences" which included several different subjects including microbiology...

So ultimately the credits were enough to be recognised as a pass because I had enough credits from other subjects which were all put together for this bigger course: life sciences.

Even though I did not technically pass microbiology in my old university but was recognised as a pass in my new university, would this be an issue for ECFMG certifcation through EPIC?

Thanks in advance
