Transcripts

What’s Included on Your Transcript?

Your USMLE transcript includes the following:  

  • your name and other personal identification information, including your date of birth;  
  • your complete examination history of all Steps and Step Components that you took;  
  • your history of any examinations for which no results were reported;  
  • indication of whether you have previously taken the former NBME Parts I, II, or III, Federation Licensing Examination (FLEX), or ECFMG Clinical Skills Assessment (CSA);  
  • annotation(s) and information documenting classification of any scores as indeterminate (see Score Validity and Irregular Behavior);  
  • annotation(s) and information documenting any irregular behavior (see Score Validity and Irregular Behavior); and  
  • annotation(s) of any actions taken against you by medical licensing authorities or other credentialing entities that have been reported to the FSMB Physician Data Center.  

Graphical Performance Profiles

Graphical performance profiles, which are included on your original score reports, are not included in your USMLE transcript.  

To obtain your USMLE transcript or have it sent to a third party, you must contact the ECFMG, FSMB, or NBME depending on which examinations you have taken and where you want your transcript sent.  

Contact the FSMB if you want your transcript sent to a medical licensing authority at any time. If you have not registered for or taken Step 3 and want your transcript sent to anyone other than a medical licensing authority, submit the request to the last entity that registered you.

Requesting a Transcript of USMLE Scores

To obtain your USMLE and/or NBME Parts transcript or have it sent to a third party, you must contact FSMB and pay the associated fee.

Examinees using any residency application service—e.g., Electronic Residency Application Service® (ERAS®)—should continue to follow instructions from the application owner for sending their USMLE transcripts to U.S. training programs.
