A foreign medical degree must be equivalent to a U.S. accredited degree, shown by ECFMG certification, a fifth pathway certificate, or passing the U.S. Medical Licensing Examination. Required residency training in OB-GYN must also be completed.

Closes in 13 days (November 16, until 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time).
You sign in to USAJOBS with a Login.gov account, answer the questionnaire and upload your documents, then you submit. Answer the questionnaire honestly: your resume must show what you claim.
How they rate you: Your complete application package, including your resume, supporting documents, and questionnaire answers, will be reviewed to see if you meet the qualification requirements. Missing documents can make your application incomplete and remove you from consideration. If the agency finds you have inflated your qualifications or experience, you may lose consideration.
4 After you apply
In USAJOBS, under Applications, you can see where your application stands: received, reviewed, referred to the hiring manager or not, then selected or not. It can take a few weeks.
For the interview, prepare three examples with the STAR method: the Situation, the Task, what you did (Action) and the Result.
If they choose you: a tentative offer, then a background check, a security clearance (Secret), then the final offer with your start date.
Tips for this job:
- Make your resume two pages or less and list hours worked per week for each job, or your application may be marked incomplete.
- Upload your physician license or certification with your application, or you will be rated ineligible.
- List your OB-GYN residency with exact dates, and show how your other experience adds up to at least 4 years.
