To be certified by ECFMG, international medical graduates must, among other requirements, satisfy the clinical skills requirement. Step 2 Clinical Skills (CS) of the United States Medical Licensing Examination™ (USMLE™) is the exam currently administered that satisfies the clinical skills requirement for ECFMG Certification. A time limit for passing Step 2 CS for ECFMG Certification may apply.
The definitive source of information on Step 2 CS is the USMLE Bulletin of Information. For additional information on the USMLE, refer to the USMLE website.
For detailed information on taking Step 2 CS for ECFMG Certification, refer to the applicable edition of the ECFMG Information Booklet. Applicants who have passed the former ECFMG Clinical Skills Assessment (CSA) should refer to the ECFMG Information Booklet for information on using this passing performance to satisfy the clinical skills requirement for ECFMG Certification.
