Time Limit for Completing Examination Requirements
ECFMG policy requires that applicants pass those USMLE Steps or Step Components required for ECFMG
Certification within a seven-year period. Once an applicant passes a Step or Step Component, the applicant
will have seven years to pass the other Step(s) or Step Component(s) required for ECFMG Certification. If an
applicant does not pass all required Steps and Step Components within a maximum of seven years, the
applicant™s earliest USMLE passing performance will no longer be valid for ECFMG Certification.
Before implementation of Step 2 CS on June 14, 2004, applicants were required to pass Step 1 and Step 2 CK
The examination requirements for ECFMG Certification include passing Step 1 and Step 2 of the USMLE.
The Step 2 exam has two separately administered components, the Clinical Knowledge (CK) component and
the Clinical Skills (CS) component.
