Every one who completed medical school in another country must complete the USMLE exams and obtain ECFMG certification.....

Hi ,
It is not easy to take DNB. It is much much tougher than the USMLE.. Only a few takers pass in the first time

hi , for those who finished DNB in pediatrics, and who want to join residency in pediatrics, the news is it is recognised! in the sense you get a concession of 6 months to one year in your residency period, depending on the state! but you are not exempted from USMLE at all . you have to go through the whole process,step 1,2,3 and csa. i hope this info helps.
