USMLE Transcript
About the USMLE Transcript\n

The USMLE transcript is required by many ACGME residency programs as part of an application to be considered for their positions.

Applicants should research programs individually for requirements related to the USMLE transcript (i.e. minimum scores).

\n

The NBME and the ECFMG receives and fulfills all USMLE requests for US and IMG residency applicants, respectively.

\n

Note:If applicable, passing NBME Part scores will be sent to the designated programs by mail. For students/graduates of international medical schools, passing NBME Part results will be included in your ECFMG status report, provided you were certified by ECFMG based on these examinations

\n

Note:FLEX scores are not available through ERAS. For FLEX scores, applicants will need to contact the Federation of State Medical Boards at \nwww.fsmb.org.. For students/graduates of international medical schools, your passing FLEX result (FLEX weighted average) will be included in your ECFMG status report, provided you were certified by ECFMG based on FLEX.
