ECFMG\u2019s 2021\u00a0Information Booklet<\/em><\/a>\u00a0on ECFMG Certification and the 2021 exam application materials for international medical students\/graduates (IMGs) are now available on the ECFMG website. The ECFMG\u00a0Information Booklet<\/em>\u00a0is the definitive source of information on ECFMG Certification and is required reading for applicants.<\/p>\n

To meet the examination requirements for ECFMG Certification, IMGs have been required to pass Step 1, Step 2 Clinical Knowledge (CK), and Step 2 Clinical Skills (CS) of the United States Medical Licensing Examination\u00ae<\/sup> (USMLE\u00ae<\/sup>). The USMLE program has suspended administration of Step 2 CS until at least June 2021. ECFMG has established pathways that will allow qualified IMGs who have not passed Step 2 CS to meet the requirements for ECFMG Certification. These pathways are directed toward individuals who intend to apply to accredited graduate medical education programs in the United States for the 2021-2022 academic year. Information on the Requirements for ECFMG Certification for 2021 Match<\/a> is available now on the ECFMG website.<\/p>\n

Availability of 2021 Eligibility Periods for USMLE Step 1\/Step 2 CK<\/strong><\/p>\n

Applicants can use the 2021 Information Booklet<\/em> and 2021 exam application materials to apply for all available Step 1\/Step 2 CK eligibility periods that end in 2021.<\/p>\n

As announced previously<\/a> by the USMLE program, all currently registered examinees who have a Step 1 or Step 2 CK scheduling permit with an unexpired eligibility period with an end date in 2020 will be extended through June 2021. ECFMG expects to complete these automatic extensions by the end of October.<\/p>\n
