Important Update: Change in Process for Requesting USMLE ® Transcripts

Effective August 21, 2024, the processing of all United States Medical Licensing
Examination ® (USMLE) transcript requests from international medical students and graduates (IMGs)
will transition from ECFMG ® , a division of Intealth™, to the Federation of State Medical Boards
(FSMB), a co-sponsor of the USMLE program. ECFMG will process complete transcript requests
received through August 20, 2024. IMGs who wish to request USMLE transcripts after this date must
submit their requests and payment to FSMB following the instructions on FSMB’s website.

The Advisory Commission will use input and feedback from the symposium to further inform its collaborative analysis and subsequent recommendations. Draft recommendations are anticipated to be released as early as this summer and will include a period of time for public commentary before being finalized.

For more information, please read the full announcement on the USMLE website.
