Requirements are determined by the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology. You may visit their website @ www.abpn.com .

No. We look at the whole application and do not focus on the year of graduation.

If your submitted ECFMG certificate is not valid or will expire before our interviews, you will need to fax a copy of your "valid" certificate before you will be allowed to interview. Your application will be reviewed but an interview will not be offered until we receive all valid documents.

There may be a situation where we request additional information in order to have a better understanding about something that was submitted. However, this is rare.

13. Is it mandatory to pass the USMLE Step 1 and 2 in the first attempt for being invited for the interview?

If you do not pass the USMLEs on the first attempt, it would be a good idea to put in writing the reasons why you believe you did not pass on the first attempt.

14. What if I haven't received my scores for Step 2?

If you have not received your scores for Step 2 at the time you submit your application, please fax the results to us when you receive them. In addition, forward a copy via ERAS as well.
