is that a fellowship? if it is then no. will you be working with patients or just sitting in a lecture hall? if you're working with patients then u need to pass the steps.

Thumbs up Post Doc Fellowship

I don't see any reason why not ??
If you are an MD, that is ECFMG certified, (easier if you are post residency.) That should be enough for many post doc fellow (PDF) programs outthere.

don't you need to pass the steps to get your ECFMG cert? in that case, you won't be able to get the cert and is not what the OP was asking.

The simple answer is no, you must pass the USMLE's because those are considered PG , post graduate programs.
