Getting set up

Work through each step in order. The green buttons open the official website in a new tab.

1

Check your eligibility

Do this before paying any fees

What to do

  1. Open the AMC eligibility checker and select the country where you got your degree.
  2. Find your medical school in the World Directory of Medical Schools (WDoMS).
  3. Under Program Details and Sponsor Notes, confirm the ECFMG Sponsor Note covers your graduation year.
  4. Confirm your exact degree title meets the AMC credential requirements.
  5. If anything is missing or wrong, contact your medical school before you continue.

Read next

Read the AMC How to Apply page once before Step 2. It sets out the official order of steps and is your main reference throughout.

✓ You're done when: your school, degree title and graduation year all appear as eligible, and you've read the How to Apply page.

Set up MyIntealth and your EPIC portfolio

Your account with ECFMG/Intealth

What to do

  1. Create your MyIntealth account (see the 8-step visual guide below).
  2. Complete the identity requirements, then wait for your MyIntealth ID to be confirmed (usually within 3 business days).
  3. In MyIntealth, follow the EPIC instructions to request and activate your EPIC portfolio.
  4. When ECFMG advises you, upload your primary medical degree (final medical diploma) and any postgraduate or specialist qualifications. Nominate the AMC to receive the outsource notification and verification report.
⏱

Allow up to 3 business days. Your MyIntealth ID should be confirmed within 3 business days of creating your account. You need this ID before you can start Step 3, so set up MyIntealth early.

What to do

  1. Once your MyIntealth ID is confirmed and EPIC is active, create your AMC account.
