Provision of USMLE Performance Data to International Medical Schools

Intealth, through its ECFMG division, may provide international medical schools with data on the performance of their students and graduates who apply to ECFMG for USMLE Step 1 and Step 2. Data is provided on examinees individually (Individual Performance Data) and in the aggregate (Aggregate Performance Data Reports). In 2009, ECFMG began to provide international medical schools with data on the USMLE performance of individual students/graduates. In 2010, ECFMG began to provide international medical schools with aggregate data on the USMLE performance of their students/graduates. We provide these services at no cost to medical schools.

The Notification of Provision of USMLE Performance Data to Medical Schools outlines Intealth’s practices regarding the provision of these data to international medical schools and the process by which examinees can request to have their Individual Performance Data withheld from their medical school.

Individual Performance Data

Individual performance data are provided to medical schools electronically through MyIntealth and include whether each examinee passed or failed the exam administration and, for Step 1 and Step 2 CK, the examinee’s numerical score if one was provided for their test administration. Examinees have the option to have their exam results withheld from their medical school.

To be eligible to obtain these data, schools must meet certain criteria, including establishing a MyIntealth account and participation in both the Enrollment Verification service and the Credentials Verification service.

If you are a representative of an international medical school and would like to obtain individual performance data on your school’s students/graduates, email [email protected] for information on how to establish a MyIntealth account. For more information on all of the services available to international medical schools through MyIntealth, visit the MyIntealth Services for International Medical Schools page.

Aggregate Performance Data Reports

Aggregate performance data, including pass rates by examination, may be made available to eligible medical schools that require this information in order to meet requirements of the U.S. Department of Education (DoE). Examinees who request to have their individual exam results withheld from their medical school will not be excluded from Aggregate Performance Data Reports; however, individual examinees will not be identifiable.

If you are a representative of an international medical school and would like to obtain aggregate performance data on your school’s students/graduates, email [email protected] to obtain a Performance Information Agreement.
