hi this seems silly but i haven't much clue as to how we go about registering for the step 1 exam.
i checked out the usmle official website, it told me to do it under ECFMG for IMGs. and i downloaded this form from the website for test accommodations for steps 1 and 2ck because as i understand when u apply for step 1 u do it for step 2ck as well? so i downloaded the forms read em' and feel like i have a huge pile to mail them. then i checked out ECFMG website and they said i can apply for an on-line usmle ID. what on earth is that now? i did anyways, i should hear from them in 5 working days. and if i do, what do i do with this ID? does this mean that now i can apply on-line instead of sending in the forms i downloaded along with the documents they asked for??
im the first person in my university doing this exam since early-90s (i think) when one of my lecturers did his residency in orthopedics in Texas. he doesn't remember much of how he went through it but im pretty sure it wasn't on-line.
so if someone can tell me what the usmle ID from the ECFMG is all about and how to go about registering for the step 1. pls pls pls explain. im not too keen on admin blabber.
.. business was never my thing.
thank u all.
