IMGS WAITING FOR STEP 2 CS RESULTS SHOULD PROCEED WITH MATCH
REGISTRATION AND RANK ORDER LISTS
If you plan to participate in the 2005 Match, and you completed Step 2
CS testing on or before December 31, you should proceed with Match
registration and the completion and certification of your rank order
list, even if your Step 2 CS result is not yet available. The National
Resident Matching Program (NRMP) deadline for registration and
certification of rank order lists is 9:00 PM, Eastern Time, on February
23. The NRMP communicates directly with ECFMG to confirm eligibility to
participate. Therefore, your exam results may be available to the NRMP
in time for you to participate in the Match even if you have not
received them by February 23. However, you will not be allowed to
participate if you have not registered and certified your rank order
list.

ABOUT THIS PUBLICATION
As an organization, ECFMG is committed to providing information on
issues of importance to international medical graduates. We realize that
many individuals would like updated information on developing issues
related to ECFMG Certification and entry into graduate medical education
in the United States. As a result, ECFMG has developed The ECFMG(r)
Reporter to provide international medical graduates worldwide with
timely, objective information on current topics of interest. It is our
hope that this newsletter will allow physicians educated outside the
United States and Canada to make informed choices on issues that shape
their careers.
