There is absolutely no way that SGU won't be accredited by 2024.
Many Agencies, not only GMDC, are currently applying for recognition status.
Even countries like Israel, Germany, Italy, Spain, and Switzerland dont have the status yet:
Also, it is irrelevant because any medical student or graduate, as long as their school meets ECFMG’s
current requirements, may apply for ECFMG Certification before 2024 and fall under their current policies.
I emailed ECFMG, here is the reply :
" It doesn’t matter when you will graduate – what matters is when you apply for ECFMG Certification. If you apply before 2024, you will not be impacted by the requirement.
Those who are already enrolled in an acceptable school can apply for ECFMG Certification now or anytime before 2024. Its not possible to take the USMLE exams however, until you have completed two years of medical school.
Then you can start taking the exams whenever you are ready. If you wish, you can apply before 2024 and not take an exam until after 2024.
To confirm that your medical school meets ECFMG’s current requirements, access the
World Directory at
www.wdoms.org. Medical schools that meet ECFMG’s requirements will have a note stating this in the schools’
World Directory listing under “Sponsor Notes.” See also this guide on
how to confirm that a medical school meets eligibility requirements (pdf)."
SGU is listed as "Current."
