Transcript Request/EBAHR FAQs

The Examination and Board Action History Report (EBAHR) is a confidential record that certifies a complete history of scores for designated examinations. Examinations whose scores can be reported using this form include the FLEX, SPEX, and USMLE Steps 1, 2, 3. The EBAHR also will include an indication of any board action taken against the person requesting the EBAHR and subsequently reported to the Federation by either a state licensing or disciplinary board, Canadian licensing authorities, the Department of Health and Human Services and individual branches of the U.S. Armed Forces.

 1. Who needs an EBAHR?
 

Students and graduates of accredited medical schools may need to submit one as part of the application process to sit for the USMLE Step 3 examination. Licensed physicians may need to submit one in order to obtain a license by endorsement/reciprocity from another state. Applicants for initial licensure in most states will need to submit one. Students and/or physicians may need one for their personal records or as a submission to a third party such as a residency program.
 2. Can I send an EBHAR to myself?
 

The Federation will send an EBAHR to any recipient designated. If an EBAHR is being sent to a recipient other than a state medical board a paper-based EBAHR form with proper notarization is required.
 3. What scores does the EBAHR reflect?
 

The FSMB maintains scores for the FLEX, SPEX and USMLE Steps 1, 2CK, 2CS, and 3 examinations.
 4. How can I cancel my request?
 

Once an EBAHR is submitted it can not be canceled.
 5. If I am using the FCVS department, do I need to request a transcript using this form?
 

The fee paid for FCVS services include the price of an EBAHR.
 6. Can I add a second recipient at a later date?
 

Additional recipients can not be added once an EBAHR is submitted.
 7. Do international graduates request transcripts from FSMB or ECFMG?
 

The Federation holds USMLE, FLEX and SPEX scores for both domestic and international medical graduates.
 8. How are my transcripts sent?
 

Most state medical boards receive the EBAHR in a electronic format via a secured website. All other recipients receive the EBAHR as a paper document via the mail.
