Transcript(s) to Document Transferred Credits

If you have transferred credits to the medical school that awarded or will award your medical degree, you must document these credits when you submit the Application for ECFMG Certification, and you must submit a copy of an official transcript issued by the school or institution at which the course was taken as part of your Application for ECFMG Certification. Additional information and instructions are provided with the application.

You must submit the copy of the transcript in the original language. Documents that are not in English must be accompanied by an official English translation that meets ECFMG’s translation requirements. See English Translations in Medical Education Credentials.

Do not submit professional evaluations of your transcript. ECFMG does not accept such evaluations in lieu of your transcript.

The name on your transcript(s) to document transferred credits should match exactly the name in your record. If the name on your transcript does not match your name of record, you must submit documentation that verifies the name on your transcript is (or was) your name. See Name on Medical Diploma and Transcript(s) in Medical Education Credentials.
