Hey guys and gals, I'm an IMG who is about to finish the examination process and be ready to apply for residency. I had a couple of quick questions that I was hoping to get some answers on. I have already taken Step 1 and CS and will have my medical school diploma sent to ECFMG in the middle of July. The only thing left is Step 2 CK which I am taking on the 7th of July. Unfortunately the scores will not be released until Sept 6th and I'm worried about the Sept 15th ERAS submission deadline. My questions:
1. ECFMG will already have my diploma and Step 1/CS scores, on the 6th of Sept when my CK score is released will I have to start an application to get my ECFMG certificate or do they automatically receive the Step 2 CK score and automatically send the certificate? Also when should I expect the online confirmation that I am ECFMG certified?
2. When can I submit my ERAS application so that the residencies see me as ECFMG Certified? My thinking is whenever a date shows up in OASIS -> Medical Education Credentials and Standard ECFMG Certificate -> Standard ECFMG Certificate Issue Date, is this correct?
Sorry if it's convoluted and hard to understand, but thank you for all your help
