The United States Medical Licensing Examination or USMLE is a multi-part professional exam.  It consists of three steps; all three must be passed before an M.D. graduate is eligible to apply for a license to practice medicine in the United States.  International medical school graduates get their ECFMG (Education Commission for Foreign Medical Graduates) certificate after passing USMLE Step 1, 2CK & 2CS, after this they are able to apply for residency training.  USMLE Step 3 is required for state licensing during residency.
