For GMC Registration: From 11 June 2018, Applicants Will Need to Have Their Primary Medical Qualification Independently be Verified by ECFMG

Copy Paste:

From 11 June 2018, applicants for provisional or full registration with a license to practice will need to have their primary medical qualification independently verified before we can grant their registration if they:

• qualified at a medical school outside of the UK, EEA or Switzerland OR

• are a national of a country outside the UK, EEA or Switzerland who graduated from a medical school   outside the UK AND

• do not already hold provisional registration with a license to practice

Verification will be carried out by the Educational Commission for Foreign Medical Graduates (ECFMG), through their online system - known as the Electronic Portfolio of International Credentials (EPIC) service. ECFMG will verify the qualification is genuine by checking this directly with the doctor's awarding institution.

If you're planning to apply for registration with a license to practice after 11 June 2018, you'll need to read the information below.
