Intealth CEO William Pinsky explains the new Intealth identity and how it integrates and maximizes the resources and expertise of its member organizations, ECFMG and FAIMER.
When the COVID-19 pandemic hit, essentially canceling the in-person USMLE Step 2 Clinical Skills examination, ECFMG acted quickly to create the Pathways for ECFMG Certification to allow qualified physicians to enter U.S. GME and ensure that these individuals are ready to begin supervised training.
FAIMER research demonstrates that individuals seeking ECFMG Certification who attended international medical schools accredited by an agency recognized by the World Federation for Medical Education (WFME) had higher or comparable USMLE first-attempt pass rates compared to individuals who attended medical schools that did not meet this criterion.
