Performance History | Validity of Scores Validity of Scores The USMLE program assures the validity of scores reported for USMLE examinations by every means available. An examinee’s scores may be canceled if the scores are at or above the passing level and the USMLE program cannot certify that they represent a valid measure of the examinee’s knowledge or competence as sampled by the examination. Questions about score validity may result from irregular behavior or from other factors. The performance of examinees is monitored and may be analyzed to detect aberrancies that raise questions about the validity of scores. In addition, evidence of irregular behavior and/or inadvertant access to test content in advance of test administration may indicate that an examinee's scores do not represent a valid measure of the examinee's knowledge or competence as sampled by the examination. See Validity of Scores in the USMLE Bulletin of Information .

Verification of Credentials
To be eligible for ECFMG Certification, you must have been awarded credit for at least four credit years (academic years for which credit has been given toward completion of the medical curriculum) by a medical school that is listed in the
of the
Foundation for Advancement of International Medical Education and Research (FAIMER) . There are restrictions on credits transferred to the medical school that awards your medical degree that can be used to meet this requirement. Your graduation year must be included in the medical school’s IMED listing. For more information, see
.
ECFMG Certification include, but are not limited to: Graduates licensed only in stomatology, ayurvedic or homeopathic medicine, or those awarded only the diploma of Physician-Epidemiologist-Hygienist, Physician-Biochemist, Physician-Cyberneticist, Physician-Biophysicist, Licensed Medical Practitioner, or Assistant Medical Practitioner. International medical graduates must document the completion of all requirements for, and receipt of, the final
appropriate officials of the medical school that issued the diploma. When ECFMG requests verification of your medical diploma from your medical school, ECFMG will request the medical school to provide your final medical
submitted to document transferred credits. An international medical graduate’s credentials are not considered complete until ECFMG receives and accepts verification of the final medical diploma, final medical school transcript, and, if required, transfer credit transcript(s) directly from the issuing school(s). Please do not send any credentials not required by ECFMG (such as licenses, certificates of full registration, high school diplomas, academic awards, etc.). Submission of unnecessary documents can delay the processing of your exam application.

Transfer credits are credits earned for a course taken at one institution (such as a medical school) that are accepted by another medical school toward meeting its degree requirements. For example, a student attends a medical school for one year and earns credits for 12 courses. The student transfers to another medical school, which accepts the credits for those 12 courses toward meeting its degree requirements. The credits for those 12 courses are then referred to as transfer credits. If you transferred credits to the medical school that awarded or will award your medical degree, you must disclose and document these credits when you apply to ECFMG for examination, regardless of when the credits were earned. See Credentials for ECFMG Certification in Medical Education Credentials. Failure to disclose and document these credits may have a number of negative consequences, including delaying exam registration and certification by ECFMG, and may result in a finding of irregular behavior. See ECFMG Policies and Procedures Regarding Irregular Behavior . Additionally, for the purpose of ECFMG Certification, credits earned on or after January 1, 2008 that are transferred to the medical school that awarded or will award your medical degree must meet all of the following criteria: Credits must be transferred from one IMED-listed medical school to another IMED-listed medical school. Credits must be for courses taken at one medical school within seven years of the date of graduation at the medical school that accepts the transferred courses. Credits must be for courses that were passed at the medical school at which the course was taken. If your transferred credits do not comply with the policy outlined above, you will not meet the requirements to be registered by ECFMG for examination or the requirements to be certified by ECFMG. If your transferred credits do not meet all the criteria listed above, you may request an exception from the ECFMG Medical Education Credentials Committee.
