Egerton University Enrolled with Educational Commission for Foreign Medical Graduates

Egerton University’s Faculty of Health Sciences, on 23 April 2021, enrolled with the Educational Commission for Foreign Medical Graduates (ECFMG).

The Dean, Dr. Brian Lishenga, said that the enrollment would allow the University to authenticate the credentials of medical graduates who seek to join postgraduate residency programs in the USA, UK, Canada, Australia etc.

“It has been the wish of our graduates to be able to register for United States Medical Licensing Exams (USMLE) or be recognised for training entry by the General Medical Council UK. This is now going to be possible,” said Dr. Lishenga.

ECFMG is a world leader in promoting quality health care—serving physicians, members of the medical education and regulatory communities, health care consumers, and those researching medical education and health workforce planning issues; this is according to its website www.ecfmg.org.
