Steps to Apply for ECFMG Clinical Skills Pathways

It is recommended that UQ-Ochsner students entering the US Match follow this order when applying for the ECFMG Clinical Skills Pathways.

  1. Register for OET
  2. We strongly recommend taking OET in September before interview season begins. However, you must take it no later than December 8th.  The earlier you take the test, the better chance you will have of obtaining another test date if you fail the test or if there are weather incidents.
  3. Provide ECFMG access to your OET results (the entire report) through the myOET platform. ECFMG must receive your scores directly from OET by December 15th.
  4. Submit OET Score Report to med.ocsStudentAdmin@uq.edu.au. Your medical school will then submit the required Clinical Skills Attestation form for you. (We will not submit the Clinical Skills Attestation form to ECFMG without your OET score report.)
  5. Apply and submit your application for ECFMG clinical skills Pathway 3 or 4 only after you have passing scores on Step 1, Step 2 CK, and OET.

NOTE:

  • Once you begin the application for the ECFMG clinical skills pathway, you will have five days to complete and submit it. If the application is not submitted within five days, it will be deleted, and you will need to begin a new application if you wish to apply to a pathway. Refer to the Fees and Payment section.
  • To determine if you are eligible to apply to a Pathway, you will be asked to enter your medical school graduation date or expected graduation date. You may enter 14 December 2024 as your expected graduation date.
