About the ECFMG Information Booklet and Application Materials

The ECFMG Information Booklet contains detailed information on ECFMG’s program of certification and ECFMG’s other programs and services for international medical students and graduates. You can access this publication and the on-line application for Step 1 and Step 2 (Clinical Knowledge and Clinical Skills components) of the United States Medical Licensing Examination® (USMLE®) on the ECFMG website.

Applicants for examination must use the applicable edition of the Information Booklet. The 2010 Information Booklet pertains to eligibility periods in 2010.

The 2011 Information Booklet and application materials are expected to be available in August 2010. See Eligibility Periods.
