2010 Information Booklet / Application Materials Are Available
The ECFMG 2010 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 2010 application to apply for:
- available Step 1/Step 2 CK eligibility periods ending in 2009 (September 2009 – November 2009 and October 2009 – December 2009) and
- all Step 1/Step 2 CK eligibility periods ending in 2010, beginning with the November 2009 – January 2010 eligibility period.
For Step 2 CS, you can use the 2010 application to obtain a 12-month eligibility period that begins on the date that the processing of your application is completed.
If you have begun but not yet completed the on-line part of a 2009 exam application, you will be able to complete the on-line part of that saved application using the 2010 application materials. Exam applications are saved in IWA for 14 days from the date you last saved the application.
Individuals who apply for examination are required to read the USMLE Bulletin of Information, in addition to the ECFMG Information Booklet. The USMLE 2010 Bulletin of Information is available on the USMLE website.
