Information Booklet / Application Materials Are Available
The ECFMG 2009 Information Booklet and exam application materials are now available. To apply for examination, use ECFMG’s Interactive Web Application (IWA).
For Step 1/Step 2 CK, you can use the 2009 application to apply for:
- available Step 1/Step 2 CK eligibility periods ending in 2008 (September 2008 – November 2008 and October 2008 – December 2008) and
- all Step 1/Step 2 CK eligibility periods ending in 2009, beginning with the November 2008 – January 2009 eligibility period.
For Step 2 CS, you can use the 2009 application to obtain a 12-month eligibility period that begins on the date that the processing of your application is completed.
Exam applications are saved in IWA for 14 days from the date you last saved the application. If you have begun but not yet completed the on-line part of a 2008 exam application, you will be able to complete the on-line part of that saved application using the 2009 application materials.
Individuals who apply for examination are required to read the USMLE Bulletin of Information, in addition to the ECFMG Information Booklet. The USMLE 2009 Bulletin of Information is available on the USMLE website.
