The Cart Before the Horse?

Wednesday, June 14th, 2006 at 11:38 pm

Today I got a nice letter from the ECFMG (Educational Commission for Foreign Medical Graduates), who are the fine folks who handle all the paperwork and register me to take my USMLE Step I exam. The letter starts off:

Dear Dr. Stracke:

Well that's nice of them - they gave me a field promotion, since I didn't think I graduated medical school for another 2 years… :roll:

The letter goes on to say:

Your score report for USMLE Step I/Step II is available.

Even better news! Now not only do I not have to graduate medical school to be a doctor, but I don't have to take the licensing exam either! I just hope that my score report shows that I passed the exam (even though I am not scheduled to take it for another month.) :-)

Well, I just got this in my email today:

Dear Doctor:

This is to advise that the letter ECFMG sent to you the week of June 5, 2006 stating your USMLE score report was available was sent in error.

Well, I guess I still have to take the exam, but at least I get to keep the field promotion. :roll:

LOL. 8O I know what you’re thinking. I know. I finally blipped on the radar again. I’ve been so amazingly busy. And I often forget about 360 because I also have a myspace blog. I will email you soon. Right now, I’m preparing to fly home (tomorrow morning!!). I will tell you that I got accepted to grad school. :D

Wow, I was wondering where you had disappeared to. Congrats on the acceptance and good luck on the flight home. :-)
