ECFMG to Provide International Medical Schools with USMLE Performance Data on Their Students/Graduates
(posted April 2, 2009; updated November 2, 2009)
ECFMG may provide international medical schools with data on the performance of their students and graduates who apply to ECFMG for USMLE Step 1, USMLE Step 2 Clinical Knowledge (CK), and USMLE Step 2 Clinical Skills (CS). This applies to all exam administrations for which an examinee applies on or after November 2, 2009.
Data will be provided to medical schools electronically through the ECFMG Medical School Web Portal (EMSWP) and will include whether each examinee passed the exam administration, and, for Step 1 and Step 2 CK, the examinee’s numerical score on both two-digit and three-digit scales.
Examinees have the option to have their exam results withheld from their medical school. To have exam results withheld from his/her medical school, the examinee must submit a request through ECFMG’s Interactive Web Application (IWA).

Beginning in early 2010, ECFMG expects to start providing medical schools with aggregate USMLE performance data on their students/graduates. Aggregate data will be provided on an annual basis to medical schools that provide ECFMG with certain information relating to their student body, curriculum, and educational programs. The information provided by schools will be used by ECFMG’s foundation, the Foundation for Advancement of International Medical Education and Research (FAIMER) (http://www.faimer.org/), in its on-going efforts to develop data resources on medical education programs throughout the world.
International medical schools have long expressed interest in obtaining USMLE performance data on their students/graduates, and we expect these opportunities to obtain such data to be mutually beneficial for the medical schools and ECFMG.
