Your Portfolio—Ready Where and When You Need It

Looking for a job, volunteering, relocating? Throughout your career in medicine, your qualifications will be evaluated
again and again. A critical part of establishing your qualifications is demonstrating that your medical credentials—
medical diploma, transcripts, postgraduate training credentials, and certificates of medical registration/licensure—are
authentic.
With EPIC, you’ll be ready to respond. EPIC enables you to have your credentials primary-source verified by ECFMG
in advance, so they’ll be ready when you need them. Pursuing different career options, perhaps in different locations?
With EPIC, you can request copies of your credentials, and reports verifying their authenticity, for organizations
worldwide. And since EPIC is a web-based service, you can access your account, upload credentials, and request
reports electronically, at your convenience.
As a medical student, graduate, or trainee, your EPIC Portfolio will grow with your career. By establishing your
portfolio now and adding credentials as you receive them, you’ll help to ensure that your credentials and proof of their
authenticity will be ready to send, at the push of a button, as you identify important career opportunities.
