The last administration date for the ECFMG CSA will be April 16, 2004. Administration of Step 2 CS is expected to begin on June 1, 2004. Neither the ECFMG CSA nor USMLE Step 2 CS will be administered beginning April 17, 2004 through May 31, 2004; Step 2 CK (the multiple-choice question component of Step 2) will continue to be administered during this period.

All CSA testing spaces available through April 16, 2004 are expected to fill by late 2003 or early 2004. ECFMG will continue to register applicants for the CSA until either:

- Enough applicants have been registered to fill available CSA testing spaces, or
- All CSA applications received through January 5, 2004 have been processed, whichever is earlier.
