ECFMG to Provide USMLE Performance Data to International Medical Schools
ECFMG may provide international medical schools with data on the performance of their students and graduates who apply to ECFMG for USMLE Step 1, USMLE Step 2 Clinical Knowledge (CK), and USMLE Step 2 Clinical Skills (CS). As announced previously, this applies to all exam administrations for which an examinee applies on or after November 2, 2009.
Data will be provided to medical schools electronically through the ECFMG Medical School Web Portal (EMSWP) and will include whether each examinee passed the exam administration, and, for Step 1 and Step 2 CK, the examinee’s numerical score on both two-digit and three-digit scales.
Examinees have the option to have their exam results withheld from their medical school. To have exam results withheld from his/her medical school, the examinee must submit a request through ECFMG’s Interactive Web Application (IWA).
