Wow, congratulations! You got it. This is the moment that all your work paid off. I'm from Korea and live in Georgia now. I took step 1 and step 2 a week ago and OET is just 2 weeks away. Hope I could get this in my hand ASAP. I'm planning to apply for 2023 match. People who took these same steps in their lives understand how effort you did to get this single paper. Thanks for sharing your stories and the videos. They really cheer me up. I pray for your path in the future. Let's make it happen!
Thank you everyone for your love and support! I truly appreciate them all 🥰❤ Summary of the visa issue: my country might not give me the Statement of Need, which is required for the J1 visa. Most programs give J1 visa and not a lot of programs give H1B. This makes it a huge limitation for me. Update: ECFMG extended the validity of the ECFMG certificate :)
You will be fine dear. I'm sure you will find a program that will sponsor you on H1B . You can try check community medical center residency program and not just University medical center residency program
hello Sarang!! even after the tough week you got to endure after the match you need to see this video in order to appreciate all the way you have done so far!! courage!!
Congratulations and eagerly waiting for your video about visa issues we img face..i love you for considering this since i've no idea abt this .Thankyou🙏💗
congrats !!! i wish you all the best in your journey .. i look forward to your next videos, i would love to know more about J1 and H1B visa thank you !!
Congratulations! Hello I'm med student in Russia ,Cloud you plz make video about mini-cex, how did you complete it ? I have no clue to how it works and I'm so confused 🙂
Congratulations, Doc Sarang! 🥳🎉🍾Been following your journey from the start. I finally had the courage to schedule my step 1. That mini-anxiety attack tho because of the validity of the ecfmg cert, I hope it won’t be a problem and it won’t cost too much to recertify. Hopefully, all goes well. 🙏
Thank you Sam! Congratulations on finally signing up for step 1! And as for the ecfmg certificate, ecfmg announced that it will be valid till 2024, so yay! :) Anyhow, good luck on your exam and on your journey! 😊
@@SarangChoiMD Yay! That’s a great update! Two more years is such a blessing! Thank youuu! I’m anxious yet very excited for my USMLE journey. I hope to connect to you and to other IMGs too. 🤗
Hello, Doc! Can you make a separate video about your total expenses from ECFMG registration down to USMLE steps 1-3? Just to give us an idea para makapag prepare. Hehe. It'll be a great help to those planning to become a Pinoy US-MD.
congratulations!! i am in kind of a dilemma. i don't have time to get some USCE. do you think it is possible to get accepted to good programs without USCE?
Hey I took Step 2ck the same day as you, I just had Pathway 1 approved . How long it! took for your certificate to arrived once your pathway was approved? Good look with step 3 🥳🥳 We did it!!
I kindly request you to make video regarding mini clinical evaluation exercise for pathway 6 like.... what will be the process and how can we search for physician and how will be the evaluations are done by the physician. It will be very useful please make one video on this with detailed explanation.. please please please..
Omg is it true about visa for pathway 6 ?? I never know that thanks for telling us and please make detailed video on that thanks 🙏 and congratulations 🥳
Hi Sarang. I just saw your videos recently and we almost have the same situation. I'm a foreigner who studied Medicine in the Philippines as well. Would you please give me some advice for ECFMG pathway 6? I was giving up when I saw your video about the pathway 6 being our only choice but then you getting the ECFMG certification gives me hope once again. Thank youu..
Congratulations! What’s the actual size of this paper copy of certificate may I ask because I need to buy a frame for my certificate in advance 😊thank you!
Impossible is an understatement. The hoops i’d have to jump through even though studied in an english language country. I am just heartbroken and feeling worthless
@@SarangChoiMD me too. But I will apply only in sept 2023 as I am yet to give step2 and do usce. I don't think I can squeeze everything to before this sept. I will be 3 years out of graduation😢 in 2023 when I apply. Do you think I will be at a loss?
very useful tip. thanks 제경우는 st1, st2 를모두 통과했는데요. 영주권자이니 J, H 비자는 필요없고요 OET 안봐도 Certi가 자동으로 오나요? 아무도 st1, st2 준비 힘들다고만 하지 그 이후의 OET나 match st 3 에 대한 설명은 참 드물어서 힘드네요 같은 choi로 정말 축하하고 앞으로 좋은 의사 되기 바랍니다.
Hi Congratulations Doctor I have a questions please How do you do the the "" mini_cex "" Or can you explain about the pathway 6 ? and what are the countries where physician who can examine medical students for this pathway ? Thank you
Hi! Here's the link to all the info on Pathway 6! :) If you read carefully, it explains which doctors are allowed to perform it. www.ecfmg.org/certification-requirements-2022-match/pathway-6.html
Congratulations. I am an old graduate. Done with OET and step 1. Step 2 CK exam next month. Can I apply for pathway 1 approval pending step 2 CK results. Thanks in advance.
Can you tell me about applying for ecfmg certificate. Like i want to apply next year and had my step 1 and 2 done, preparing for oet and then will do USCE. Can i apply for certificate now or next year when that ERAS application starts
I'm to apply ecfmg, and am freshman at OLFU Medicine. i have a question, can freshman apply a USMLE exam, and is ecfmg each subject checking up?, is that true?
Hello i actually jad a little query about ecfmg certfiication. My med school is enpisted in the WDOMS but us not sponsored by ECFMG so what should i do ??? Am i eligible for ecfmg certfication or not??
하나 여쭙고 싶은게 있습니다. usmle 시험과 oet 점수 전부 받은 다음에 얼마나 지나야 ecfmg certificate를 발급 받을 수 있는지요? 그리고 저렇게 실물 종이를 받아야만 스텝 3를 신청할 수 있는 건가요 아님 전산상으로 ecfmg ceftificate를 받으면 바로 스텝 3를 신청할 수 있는 지요??
안녕하세요, oet, step 1, step2, pathway 를 마치신 후로 2 주일 후에 certificate 이 배달되어요. 제가 알기로는 이 종이가 있어야만 step 3 를 신청할수 있어요. 번호가 여기에 적혀있거든요. Not sure if you can access the number elsewhere
Congratulations! If you have everything done for the certification, You'll probably get the certificate in two weeks! Make sure your address on IWA is the address you want the certificate to be shipped to! :)
@@SarangChoiMD Thank you for your reply. After I got the message from ECFMG about approval of my application, Standard ECFMG Certificate information on OASIS has not changed yet. Is this OK? or Is there anything I need to do for proceeding the step of ECFMG certificate?
@@JUNGHUNLEE-u9d Yeah that's normal. My info on OASIS didn't change I think until I got my certificate. It's a little slow. My friend got his certificate roughly two weeks after the pathway approval. I think mine took roughly two weeks too. But they will email you saying that you have met the requirements for certification and that they will be sending the certificate shortly. I think you'll just have to wait.
Hey doc can your please guide me if u do not get matched and your oet expires but u are already ecfmg certified for one year do we need to take oet again to recertify again

very useful tip. thanks
제경우는 st1, st2 를모두 통과했는데요. 영주권자이니 J, H 비자는 필요없고요
OET 안봐도 Certi가 자동으로 오나요? 아무도 st1, st2 준비 힘들다고만 하지
그 이후의 OET나 match st 3 에 대한 설명은 참 드물어서 힘드네요
같은 choi로 정말 축하하고 앞으로 좋은 의사 되기 바랍니다.
안녕하세요!!
영주권이 있으셔도 해외에서 의대를 나오셨으면 OET를 보시고 Pathway 가 approved 되어야 ecfmg certificate 가 나와요! 혹시 벌써 받으셨는지 모르겠네요 :)
화이팅입니다! :)
@@SarangChoiMD 네 oet 보고 certi 받앗습니다
이제 매치가 남앗네요
영상이 도움 많이 되엇어요
Congratulations!!! Did you do any steps after your pathway has been approved? Mine was approved but I don’t see any changes in OASIS.
It takes some time for it to change! I also kept checking and was wondering why it wasn't changing haha. It changed after a few days :)
Thank you for quick reply! So, I need only wait after pathway’s approval. That is fine, but that’s so hard😅
Hi
Congratulations Doctor
I have a questions please
How do you do the the "" mini_cex ""
Or can you explain about the pathway 6 ?
and what are the countries where physician who can examine medical students for this pathway ?

I finished step 1 and 2, what’s the next step? How do I get this certificate?
What is the procedure of recertification of ecfmg certifcate after the validity period.
After certificate expire,we need to redo pathway again?
Congratulations. I am an old graduate. Done with OET and step 1. Step 2 CK exam next month. Can I apply for pathway 1 approval pending step 2 CK results. Thanks in advance.
Sorry for the late reply! Yes you can apply for Pathway 1 before getting your step2ck results :)
Can you tell me about applying for ecfmg certificate. Like i want to apply next year and had my step 1 and 2 done, preparing for oet and then will do USCE. Can i apply for certificate now or next year when that ERAS application starts
Is it a standard certificate size? 8.5 x 11 in?

Do they send the certificate overseas?
Is the certificate valid indefinitely if one passes step 3
하나 여쭙고 싶은게 있습니다.

Hey doc can your please guide me if u do not get matched and your oet expires but u are already ecfmg certified for one year do we need to take oet again to recertify again
Was it difficult to extend the validity ? Did you have to do anything extra?
Hi! they extended the validity to Dec. 31, 2024 without me doing anything! :)
Which program u will be applying for?
I'll probably be applying to roughly 100 to 200 programs! :)
Hello doc may i ask how can i get it or apply to it?
Are you done with step 1, step 2ck, and your oet? and pathway application confirmed? You need all of these completed in order to get the certificate
@@SarangChoiMD after pathway it automatically comes to my home or i should apply for it?
Can you still apply for J1 even if you are eligible for H1B?
Yes you can!
Did you apply for this year match
Nope! I'm applying next year! :)
You have proved in one of your video PLAB is better..but then why did you chose usmle?
Question: Can we apply for certification if we have no yet taken the step 2, but have booked it?
Congratulations 🎉
