High-vote services get prioritized for outreach
Partially blocked in Syria, verified by a community report in March 2026: the main site loads, but the application portal redirects Syrian users to a sanctions compliance page, blocking the certification portal that medical graduates need for U.S. residency. A community volunteer contacted the parent organization's support in March, and the team followed up that same month after an initial address bounced.

ECFMG's ERAS support team responded to the official outreach via an automated email from eras-support@ecfmg.org.

Follow-up Sent

You can help change this. Syria's political situation has changed—all sanctions have been lifted. Many companies just haven't updated their policies yet. If you work at MyIntealth or know someone who does, share our resources with their legal or compliance team. Sometimes all it takes is one person asking the right question.
Tips for advocating: Reach out to legal, compliance, or policy teams. Reference the lifted sanctions. Point to competitors who have already unblocked Syria. Every voice matters.
