Updated Information on Suspension of IMG Scheduling for Step 2 CS at Philadelphia CSEC
As previously published, a suspension in scheduling for Step 2 CS test dates at the Philadelphia Clinical Skills Evaluation Center (CSEC) is currently in place for international medical students/graduates (IMGs). When this suspension was implemented, it affected all Step 2 CS testing spaces at the Philadelphia CSEC available during 2004 (June through December).
The time period affected by the suspension has changed. Effective July 28, 2004, the suspension applies to test dates at the Philadelphia CSEC from September 1, 2004 through December 31, 2004. As a result of this change, IMGs are now able to schedule testing appointments at the Philadelphia CSEC for any available date before September 1, 2004 and after December 31, 2004.
IMGs registered for Step 2 CS should review the full, updated announcement on the suspension available on the ECFMG website.
To view available test dates at all CSECs, IMGs registered for Step 2 CS should access Step 2 CS Scheduling on the ECFMG website.
We will continue to monitor scheduling patterns at all CSECs. Updated information will be posted to the ECFMG website as it becomes available.
