Does anyone know how would this interact with the USMLE, does it override it?

Not sure why the downvotes for an honest question, could you at least point out what's wrong?

In case anyone else was, like me, unfamiliar with the abbreviation USMLE:

If you're gonna do this, at least put it up front so people don't have to click a link.

USMLE = United States Medical Licensing Examination.

The one time I didn't quote. Thanks for the reminder to post better. I'm doing my best lol

In all seriousness though, I did second-guess myself. I knew better.

no, you still need usmle to get ecfmg certification. the difference is that you wont need US residency to get a state medical license

doesn't USMLE require you basically to finish studying in US?

No, as long as you've graduated from medical school in a country that has accredited/globally recognized medical schools, you can take the steps (USMLEs), and thus you can get ECFMG certified.
