About This Publication How to Obtain This Publication |
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. Each edition of the Information Booklet is associated with corresponding application materials for Step 1 and Step 2 of the United States Medical Licensing Examination™ (USMLE™) and the ECFMG Clinical Skills Assessment (CSA®).
Applicants for these exams must use the appropriate edition of the Information Booklet / application materials. The 2003 Information Booklet and application materials pertain to USMLE Step 1 / Step 2 eligibility periods with an ending date in 2003 and to the CSA for the calendar year 2003. If you plan to apply for a Step 1 / Step 2 eligibility period that ends in 2004 or to take the CSA in 2004, you must use the 2004 Information Booklet / application materials. The 2004 Information Booklet / application materials are expected to be available in August 2003. See Eligibility Period for more information on USMLE eligibility periods.

The USMLE Bulletin of Information is available on this website, the USMLE website at www.usmle.org and from ECFMG, upon request. In the event that information about the USMLE in the ECFMG Information Booklet differs from the corresponding information in the USMLE Bulletin of Information, the information in the USMLE Bulletin of Information shall govern.
