IMGs Participating in the 2006 Match Must Take Step 2 CS as

Guest · **posting in usmle forum about The Match**

International medical graduates (IMGs) who wish to participate in the National Resident Matching Program (NRMP), or "the Match," must have passed all exams required for ECFMG Certification. If you plan to participate in the 2006 Match and need to pass Step 2 CS, you should know that a specific reporting date for Step 2 CS results cannot be guaranteed, regardless of the date on which Step 2 CS is taken. However, if you take Step 2 CS later than December 31, 2005, you are unlikely to have your results in time to participate in the Match.
