On-line Services
Web-based access to services is available on this website. ECFMG’s on-line services are available 24 hours/day, seven days/week at no cost to users.
OASIS — On-line Applicant Status and Information System
The On-line Applicant Status and Information System (OASIS) is a web-based information service for ECFMG applicants and ECFMG-certified physicians.
You can use OASIS to check the status of:
- Exam applications and score reports,
- USMLE scheduling permits,
- Medical education credentials,
- USMLE transcript requests (except for electronic transcripts requested through ERAS),
- Standard ECFMG Certificate,
- Requests for permanent validation of examination dates, if applicable, and
- Certification of Identification Form (Form 186).
You can use OASIS to:
- Make on-line payments to your ECFMG financial account.
- Update your contact information, including your e-mail address, mailing address, and telephone and fax numbers.
- Request an ERAS Token.
- Track receipt of your supporting documents to ECFMG ERAS.
- Request a permanent validation sticker for exams listed on your Standard ECFMG Certificate, if applicable.
You can also check:

IWA — Interactive Web Application
The Interactive Web Application is ECFMG’s web-based application service for ECFMG applicants. You can use IWA to:
- Apply for USMLE Step 1, Step 2 CK, and Step 2 CS,
- Request extension of your USMLE Step 1/Step 2 CK eligibility period, if you are registered, and
- Access your USMLE/ECFMG Identification Number, if lost or forgotten.
Applicants submit application information, including payment, to ECFMG via the Internet. IWA provides applicants with on-line instructions, the ability to save a partially completed application, and on-line validation that prevents many common errors. ECFMG processes applications typically within three weeks of receipt of the complete application.
Step 2 CS Calendar
The Step 2 CS Calendar allows unrestricted access to the calendar of available test dates at all test centers. All visitors to the ECFMG website can access the Step 2 CS Calendar.
Step 2 CS Scheduling
Step 2 CS Scheduling allows registered applicants to check available test dates at all test centers and schedule, cancel, reschedule, and confirm testing appointments.
