Fee Increases for USMLE Step 1, Step 2 Clinical Knowledge (CK), and Step 2 Clinical Skills (CS)
Effective January 1, 2010, the fees for those applying to ECFMG for USMLE Step 1, Step 2 Clinical Knowledge (CK), and Step 2 Clinical Skills (CS) will increase.
The examination fees for USMLE Step 1 and Step 2 CK will increase from $710 to $740 for each exam registration.
The examination fee for Step 2 CS will increase from $1,200 to $1,295 for each exam registration.
Additionally, it is expected that Prometric™ will increase the Step 1/Step 2 CK international test delivery surcharges, which apply to applicants who choose a testing region other than the United States/Canada. ECFMG will post additional information on the increases to the international test delivery surcharges to the ECFMG website as it becomes available.
Both the new examination fees and the new test delivery surcharges will be assessed for all Step 1, Step 2 CK, and Step 2 CS applications submitted to ECFMG on or after January 1, 2010.
For more information on the fees and surcharges associated with applying for USMLE Step 1, Step 2 CK, and Step 2 CS, refer to Fees in the ECFMG Information Booklet.
