After ECFMG’s EMSWP Administrator receives and verifies the medical school’s request, a temporary User Name and one-time temporary Password will be sent by ECFMG to the medical school’s EMSWP Coordinator in two separate e-mails.  These e-mails will be sent to the e-mail address provided by the medical school for its EMSWP Coordinator.  Both the temporary User Name and temporary Password are required to establish an EMSWP User Account.

Establishing an EMSWP User Account

After receiving the temporary User Name and temporary Password, you will be required to establish your EMSWP account.  This process will require you to choose a personalized User Name and Password, Security Image and Caption, and 10 Challenge Questions and Answers.

You will need to complete the following steps to establish the EMSWP account:

1.  Open the preferred web browser and go to https://ecam.ecfmg.org/.

2.  Enter the temporary User Name you received by e-mail from ECFMG and click “Continue.”

3.  Enter the temporary Password you received by e-mail from ECFMG.

4.  You will then be offered the opportunity to either keep the existing User Name or enter a new, personalized User Name. This will be the only opportunity for you to modify the User Name; otherwise, the temporary User Name will become your permanent User Name. ECFMG recommends that you change your User Name to one you will easily remember.

Note: The User Name must be at least one character in length and cannot exceed 50 characters in length.

5.     Change the temporary Password.

¨         You will be prompted to enter the temporary Password.

¨         You will then need to enter and confirm the new Password.

¨         All Passwords must meet the following requirements:

·         A minimum of eight characters; a maximum of 16 characters

·         A minimum of one upper- and one lowercase character

·         A minimum of one numeric character

·         The first and last character cannot be numeric

·         Cannot contain more than two consecutive identical characters

·         Cannot contain your User Name

·         Cannot be the same as any of your previous five passwords

Important Note: Passwords are case sensitive.

6.  Select a Security Image and Caption.

¨    Select a category and choose an Image to use as your Security Image.

¨    Create a Caption for the selected Image.

¨    Both the Security Image and Caption are required in order to proceed.

¨    The Caption for the Security Image must be at least one character in length and cannot exceed 100 characters in length.

7.  Select and answer 10 Challenge Questions.

¨    Choose 10 Challenge Questions from the list. The same question cannot be selected more than once.

¨    Enter an Answer for each Challenge Question.

Note: The answers should be something you can easily remember and only you would know. You will be required to answer one randomly selected question during all future logins.

8.  After you have answered the 10 Challenge Questions, you will have established your EMSWP User Account.

Logging into EMSWP

After you have established the EMSWP User Account, you will be able to log into EMSWP. Logging into EMSWP will allow you to access the list of your medical school’s students/graduates who have applied for examination, as well as to administer your EMSWP User Account.

You will need to complete the following steps to login:

¨    If the Image and Caption shown are what you chose, enter your Password and click “Continue.”

¨    If the Image or Caption shown are not what you chose, you must click on the “Not My Image” link. This will reset your account and further instructions will be e-mailed to you.
