MyIntealth Identification Number

A MyIntealth account is required to apply for any of our services, including ECFMG Certification. Applicants will be issued a MyIntealth Identification Number (ID) once they establish their MyIntealth account and should always provide their MyIntealth ID when contacting us for assistance.

Once you have a MyIntealth account, you can begin or continue your pursuit of ECFMG Certification.

• New Applicants. If you never used ECFMG’s former Online Services (for example, IWA or OASIS), you must establish a MyIntealth account before requesting services related to ECFMG Certification. Establishing a MyIntealth account includes completing our identity verification process.
• Existing Applicants. If you used ECFMG’s former Online Services (for example, IWA or OASIS), your account information has been transferred to MyIntealth. Due to changes in the processes for requesting some services, applicants may be required to repeat certain parts of an application/request process, such as resubmitting medical education credentials or completing our identity verification process. When you log into MyIntealth, you will have the opportunity to complete any steps required to access our services.

To establish your MyIntealth account and obtain a MyIntealth ID, you must provide certain information, including your name as it appears on your current, unexpired passport; date of birth; address of residence; and medical school information, and complete our identity verification process.

You will only be assigned one MyIntealth ID. Your MyIntealth ID cannot be changed. Obtaining or attempting to obtain a MyIntealth ID after one has been assigned to you may result in a finding of irregular behavior. See Policies and Procedures Regarding Irregular Behavior.

If you forget or lose your MyIntealth ID, you can obtain it by logging into MyIntealth. To protect the privacy of applicants, we will not provide MyIntealth IDs by telephone.

USMLE Identification Number (ID)

The USMLE/ECFMG Identification Number is now called the USMLE ID.

• New Applicants. New applicants are issued a USMLE ID after they successfully submit the Application for ECFMG Certification. You can view your USMLE ID in the My Profile section of MyIntealth. New applicants do not need to request a USMLE ID, and they do not need a USMLE ID to submit the Application for ECFMG Certification. Applicants can view all identification numbers associated with their record in the My Profile section of MyIntealth.
• Existing Applicants. If you used ECFMG’s former Online Services (for example, IWA or OASIS) and were previously assigned a USMLE ID, your account information has been transferred to MyIntealth. You can view your USMLE ID in the My Profile section of MyIntealth. Existing applicants will not be issued a new USMLE ID.

As part of the request to establish a MyIntealth account, you will be asked if you previously submitted an Application for ECFMG Certification and/or an application for examination to ECFMG. You also will be asked if you were previously assigned a USMLE ID. If you were previously assigned a USMLE ID or have submitted a prior application to ECFMG, you must answer “Yes” to the applicable question(s), even if you submitted the prior application under a different name or did not take the exam for which you applied, and enter the USMLE ID, if you know it. You must answer “Yes” regardless of whether you submitted an online application or a paper application. If you were previously assigned a USMLE ID or have submitted an application to ECFMG but indicate that you were not previously assigned a number or have not applied previously, this may result in a finding of irregular behavior and permanent annotation of your record. See Policies and Procedures Regarding Irregular Behavior.
