IMPORTANT NOTICE FOR USMLE APPLICANTS REGARDING THE INTERACTIVE WEB
APPLICATION (IWA)

In preparation for enhancements to its on-line services, ECFMG will be
making changes to some of its computer systems, including the
Interactive Web Application (IWA), on February 11, 2008. To make these
changes, it will be necessary to delete incomplete IWA exam
applications
and requests to extend Step 1/Step 2 CK eligibility periods (EPEx).
Specifically, if you have begun but not yet finished the on-line part
of
an IWA exam application or EPEx request when these changes are made on
February 11, this incomplete on-line part of the application/request
will be deleted.

To ensure that your exam application or EPEx request will not be
deleted, you must finish the on-line part of the application/request,
including payment, no later than 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time in the United
States, on February 11, 2008. If your exam application or EPEx request
is deleted, you will be required to begin a new application/request in
order to apply for examination or request an eligibility period
extension. It is anticipated that you will be able to begin a new exam
application or EPEx request no later than 11:00 p.m., Eastern Time in
the United States, on February 11, 2008.

Thank you for your cooperation as we continue to enhance our on-line
services.
