ECFMG requires all medical school graduates to submit copies of their final medical diploma. You must send two photocopies of your final medical diploma to ECFMG. Do not send an original diploma. The exact name of the final medical diploma you must provide is listed in the Reference Guide for Medical Education Credentials on the
ECFMG website. The Reference Guide lists these medical credential qualifications by country of medical school. Although this Reference Guide is based upon information that was current at the time of publication, this information is subject to change. The photocopies of your medical diploma must be 216 mm x 279 mm (8½ in x 11 in). If these documents are larger than 216 mm x 279 mm (8½ in x 11 in), you must send reduced photocopies that are 216 mm x 279 mm (8½ in x 11 in). You must send the photocopies of your diploma to ECFMG by mail or courier service. ECFMG does not accept these documents by fax or e-mail. You must send one full-face, passport-sized, color photograph with the copies of your medical diploma. The photograph that you send must be current; it must have been taken within six months of the date that you send it. A photocopy of a photograph is not acceptable. You must submit the photocopies of the final medical diploma in the original language, containing the issue date and all of the appropriate signatures of the medical school and/or university officials. Documents that are not in English must be accompanied by an official English translation. ECFMG will not accept copies of a medical diploma that is not in English without an official English translation. Likewise, ECFMG will not accept an English translation of a diploma without copies of the original language document from which the English translation was prepared. See
in Medical Education Credentials. Do not submit professional evaluations of your final medical diploma. ECFMG does not accept such evaluations in lieu of your final medical diploma. You must also complete and submit with your medical diploma the
and two copies of the Medical School Release Request (Form 345) . These forms are available in the Resources section of the ECFMG website and from ECFMG, upon request. If you are submitting the photocopies of your medical diploma with an exam application, follow the instructions for additional documents in Applying for Examination. The name on your medical diploma must match exactly the name in your ECFMG record. If the name on your diploma does not match the name in your ECFMG record, you must submit documentation that verifies the name on your diploma is (or was) your name.
