Key points

  • Australia requires <strong>Primary Source Verification (PSV)</strong> for IMGs, and this is handled via <strong>ECFMG/MyIntealth</strong> for many candidates.
  • PSV is an upstream dependency—do it early to prevent later bottlenecks.
  • Keep documents clean and consistent; verification delays are usually administrative, not medical.
If you’re targeting Australia, PSV is a non-negotiable gating step. It’s straightforward when done early, but painful when discovered late. This page is designed to help you sequence PSV alongside exam planning so you don’t stall your pathway.
