How to Get ECFMG Certified

International Medical Graduate (IMG)
An international medical graduate (IMG) is defined by The Educational Commission for Foreign Medical Graduates (ECFMG), as a physician who received his/her basic medical degree or qualifications from a medical school located outside the United States and Canada. The student’s citizenship is irrelevant, the location of the medical school attended is what determines if a student is considered an IMG. Therefore, U.S. citizens who graduated from medical schools outside the United States and Canada are considered IMGs. Similarly, non-U.S citizens who graduated from medical schools in the United States and Canada are not IMGs.
