Eligibility for Examination
ECFMG Announcements, 08/28/09

ECFMG reserves the right to reverify your eligibility for examination at any time during the application and registration process. Additionally:

• If your eligibility for an exam changes after you apply but before you take the exam, you are required to inform ECFMG immediately in writing of this change in your status. Such notification must be sent to ECFMG’s Applicant Information Services. Failure to inform ECFMG of a change in your eligibility for examination is considered irregular behavior.
• Medical school students who transfer to another medical school after submitting an application for examination must inform ECFMG immediately in writing of this transfer. Such notification must be sent to ECFMG’s Applicant Information Services.
• If you have been dismissed from medical school, you are not eligible for the USMLE, even if you are appealing the school’s decision to dismiss you.

The eligibility requirements for examination differ depending on whether you are a medical school student or a medical school graduate.
