ECFMG MyIntealth Update
January 28th 2024
Dear Doctor,
As Intealth and its ECFMG division have worked diligently toward the launch of MyIntealth over the past two weeks, we fully recognize that many customers are facing time-sensitive issues. We apologize for any disruption caused by our extended pause in services.
To ensure that our customers have access to critical services, we are restoring our existing systems, and our on-line services are expected to be available tomorrow, Monday, January 29. Users will be able to access all services, including IWA, OASIS, CVS ON-LINE, and our EPIC Portal, to submit applications and other service requests, and to check the status of prior applications/requests. The launch of MyIntealth has been postponed.
While we will continue to prepare MyIntealth for launch, our priority is to ensure that customers have everything they need from us without further delay. We will reschedule the launch of MyIntealth for a later date to occur with minimal impact to those we serve and will provide updates as they become available.
With our systems once again available, we will be working to address time-sensitive issues as soon as possible. For assistance with urgent inquiries and requests, please call the appropriate customer service center. Please visit the Contact page for information. If you cannot call, please send an email with "URGENT" in the subject line so we can prioritize a resolution. Please don't send duplicate messages and only reach out if urgent, so that we meet the needs of those most needing assistance.
Please accept our sincere apologies for any challenges you may have experienced during our extended pause in services. We look forward to providing full support and assistance to all who rely on our services.
Sincerely,
ERAS Support Services at ECFMG - A Division of Intealth
Conference Funding Update
We also want to be clear that the funding for the conference funding initiative never came from Ross University and was 100% supplied by the Clinical Student Governemnt. As mentioned in the video, we are happy that the program was able to help student sand will continue to work on options to find funding for the future of the program.
New change regarding clinical skills attestation and RUSM graduation requirements.
Effective, August 10, 2023, Ross University School of Medicine (RUSM) will no longer require the Clinical Skills Assessment (CSA) exam. It was determined that clinical skills and competencies are appropriately assessed by the existing curriculum utilizing the Clinical Clerkship Assessment of Medical Student Performance (CCAMSP). As such, RUSM graduation requirements will no longer include the CSA and will otherwise remain unchanged.
What Does This Mean for you?
If you are progressing satisfactorily through clinical clerkships, then RUSM will use the components of the CCAMSP to attest to your clinical skills and competencies as part of the Pathways for the Educational Commission for Foreign Medical School Graduates (ECFMG™) Certification clinical skills attestation. No further action on your part is required with regard to clinical skills attestation.
What Are The Next Steps?
Clinical skills attestations will be processed on the following dates:
- September 15, 2023
- November 15, 2023
- January 15, 2024
Students must have completed their ECFMG Pathway application and have a passing final grade for Internal Medicine, Surgery, and Ob/Gyn Core Clerkships for your attestation to be completed. Students will receive a notification once their attestation has been processed and uploaded to the ECFMG portal.
Students who are not on track to meet the requirements for ECFMG clinical skills attestation before February 15, 2024, will be notified on or before November 15, 2023, to address any missing requirements. Students with questions about Match timelines and starting residency in 2024 may contact the Office of Career Advisement at OCA@RossU.edu.
We appreciate your attention to these details. If you have questions regarding this update, please contact registrar@rossu.edu. If you want to inquire about a previous CSA, please email cATL@rossu.edu. We look forward to continuing to support you on your journey toward becoming physicians. u
