hi! just to clarify, im currently studying in a school that is not accredited yet, if I will get the license to practice in my home country, that means I'm eligible to apply for USMLE through this pathway? please correct me if i'm wrong, thank you!

Thank you for the video. I have passed Plab 2 which is osce examination of UK as well as steps exams.. shall i apply through pathway 2? Is there any benefit please?

What should I do if I am licensed in 2 countries

Hello Mark! I had a small doubt. My college is WDOMS accredited, but my country (Bangladesh) is yet to get recognized by the WFME. My college even has a sponsor note saying that we're eligible for pathway 2. Yet I've seen a lot of people on Reddit say that without WFME i cannot register for ECFMG in 2027 even though it is recognized by WDOMS. Is WFME really required if they have WDOMS already? I say that i will register around 2027 because i will be starting college in May of 2024. In June of 2024, the current WFME recognition will expire.

Osce is valid for how long ?

High sir, thank you in advance Im from egypt, and i want to apply to ECFMG and take the USMLE exams My university is present in the WODMS and meets the criteria by sponsored note . The problem is that I didn't find its name in any pathway . Could you help me please? 0:04
