Sending Documents to ECFMG..................


hi folks,
           I am writing this post about what are the documents needed to take dates for Usmle exams and
          participating into Match.

    there may be two cases-
 
        1) you may be a medical student. means you have not completed your internship yet.
         2) you are a medical graduate. done with internship.

     Student- if you are a student then you dont need any extra document to take date for Step 1,Step 2CK
           and Step 2cs. you just to send the print out which you will get at the end of online application. this is  
           either form 183 aka Certification statement  of identification is paper certification required by ECFMG
           for applicants who r students enrolled in medical school that do not participate in ECFMG Medical  
           School Web Portal.


        doc-  Certification Statement (Form 183) only.



    Graduates- if you are a medical graduate then you need to send two copies of your medical diploma( degree) and a recent taken with in 6 months passport size photo along with the print out form that you get at the end of online application. that would be Form-186 Certification of Identification Form.


     doc- 1) Certification of Identification Form (Form 186)
             2)  two copies of medical diploma
             3)  one passport size photo
             4)  ECFMG Medical Education Credentials Submission Form (Form 344).
             5) Medical School Release Request (Form 345) to release your medical school transcript.


             plz review ths guide line for photocopies-  
                                                                                Reference Guide for Medical Education Credentials


             what ever the case you have to sent all these documents to the given address by the ECFMG.
             if you student then you will receive the email cofirmation that we have received your application 
             and after apprx 3 weeks you might get your confirmation of schedule which you had chosen  
              during application.
   
             if you are graduate then it will take bit longer time. because once ECFMG  receives your application along with all five docs then they will send your diploma to your medical college for verification and also the request for release form 345 to release your Medical school transcript.
well if you are lucky your college might do all the steps correctly but if they are not accustom to these stuff then here is a trick.


you try to contact your college and tell them that they gona receive a package with my name. and once they receive it you go there if possible get everything done under ur vision. and you might take all the documents and send them to advised address under college name as the sender.

so that is hectic step but you have to go through it. it just the beginning man.......... you have long way to go.

READY FOR STEP 2 CK

if you are planning to take step 2ck, i have few suggestions
, i would be as brief as possible.

what this is test all about?
it covers 5 subjects- internal medicine, surgery, ob-gyn, pediatrics and psychiatry.

where u can take it?
wherever you want.

if u don't know how to take date that i will cover in next post.

what to read?

you need to read Kaplan for step 2ck and if you have dvd do watch them.
try to read first then watch the video of that topic and add to the notes if
you found some thing extra.
here again you need to avoid Psychiatry from Kaplan. use BRS Psychiatry
by Barbara fathem.

try to read at-least twice.

don't forget to do questions.
usmle world is the best but try it when u ready to go.

last thing never study on the last day before exam. have fun.

one more thing i would not advice you to read "first aid " its upto you.
if you have any query and suggestion, do write to me.

how to score high at usmle step 1

guidance is the kea to score high a steps of usmle.
step 1 is more about the knowing the physiology of body how it affected in pathologic conditions.
pattern of questions at step 1 still clinical based like you will encounter in real life.

so what to learn and what to leave is very crucial to know before you take the exam.

what material is right-
1) kaplan is good. but dont read pathology and behav science from it.
2) goljan pathology
3) BRS behavioral science by barbara fathem

try to study in detail these topics

diabetes
hypertension
obesity
heart disease
stroke
anti hypertensive drug
anti depressant
anti psychotic
anti hiv

their indications, contraindications and interactions.

three p's need special attention
physio
patho
pharma.

try to familiarize yourself with the pattern of questions .
do Usmle world at least for one month and try to score at least 70 % consistently.

have faith in God and you.

all the best.
