Hi guys, I saw on the FSMB site that the 'APPLICATION FOR LICENSURE REQUIRED WHEN APPLYING FOR STEP3' column is NO for most of the boards including Connecticut.
Does this mean that we do not need the ECFMG certificate at the time of applying for Step3? or is this some other licensure?
Also, I tried filling up the Step3 application.. the column about ECFMG certificate was not even marked as required..
So, do we need the ECFMG certificate or can we apply without that even??

USMLE Step 3 Requirements
The USMLE program requires the following to be completed prior to submitting a Step 3 application:
- Obtain an M.D. degree (or its equivalent) or a D.O. degree (or its equivalent). Pass both USMLE Steps 1 and 2 (CK and CS). If a graduate of a foreign medical school, obtain certification by the ECFMG or successfully complete a "Fifth Pathway" program. Meet the requirements for taking Step 3 imposed by the individual licensing authority to which you are applying to sit Step 3.
You must be eligible to sit for Step 3 at the time you submit the application.
- If you have taken the Step 3 previously, you may not reapply prior to 60 days from the date of the prior Step 3 administration. The USMLE program limits all individuals to three attempts at a Step within a 12-month period. You may not apply for a fourth attempt at Step 3 prior to the expiration of 12 months from the date of the first Step 3 administration.
