drake19 Posted October 18, 2020 Report Share Posted October 18, 2020 https://www.theabfm.org/become-certified/i-am-certified-country-outside-united-states there is a CFPC pathway that does not require 3rd year of training. i think the ABFM exam is much more straightforward....there are tons of practice questions, we have "intraining exams" every year...so a ton of practice...the intraining exams are available if you have an ABFM account, i think only 3 years worth though.....only difference is the guidelines, units are different. its a multiple choice exam only, no OSCE....

IIRC doing the alternate pathway is a bit tricky, you have to somehow be a resident of the US for a period of time for example and be active in FM in the US... You have been resident in the United States for least six months" You are actively involved in family medicine in the United States.
