Hi

This year, ck score will be delayed until sept 16.
I am wondering when the ck score and certificate will be available to programs?
Thanks

Ecfmg certificate is given out about two weeks after step 1, 2 ck and 2 cs results are in. You also need your credentials verified from your medical school (they have to send diploma transcript etc, call Ecfmg for details).

So if you are done with step 1 and cs and your credentials are verified, then you can expect your certificate about 2 weeks after September 16th when ur ck result comes in

Thanks.

But someone told me that certificate and ck score will be transferred to eras next day after 16th Sept.
Anyone can clarify this?

ECFMG status report will be updated to your ERAS within two days (Friday) after you pass your last exam.

Thanks houranis

May I ask one more question?

If the ck score is reported on sept 16 (I passed step 1/cs), is it safe to request usmle transcript from eras on the same day? Or it is better to wait for one or two days to request usmle transcript.

I am a little worry that the ck score won't be included in the transcript if I request it immediately after it is released.

Thanks again
