United States Medical Licensing
Examination (USMLE)
The
United States Medical Licensing Examination (USMLE) is a multi-part
professional exam sponsored by the Federation of State Medical Boards (FSMB)
and the National Board of Medical Examiners (NBME). Physicians with an M.D.
degree are required to pass this examination before being permitted to practice
medicine in the United States of America; see below for requirements of
physicians with a D.O. degree
All
three steps of the USMLE exam must be passed before a physician with an M.D.
degree is eligible to apply for an unrestricted license to practice medicine in
the United States. U.S. osteopathic medical school graduates are permitted to
take the USMLE for medical licensure, which they can also obtain by passing the
multi-part Comprehensive Osteopathic Medical Licensing Examination (COMLEX)
professional exam. Students who have graduated from medical schools outside the
US and Canada must pass all three steps of the USMLE to be licensed to practice
in the US, regardless of the title of their degree. Overall pass rates for
first time USMLE Step 1 test takers are: 94% for U.S. M.D. medical school
graduates, 89% for U.S. D.O. osteopathic medical school graduates, and 73% for
international medical school graduates. First-time USMLE Step 2 CK test taker
pass rates are: 97% for U.S. M.D. medical school graduates and 93% for U.S.
D.O. medical school graduates. First-time USMLE Step 2 CS test taker pass rates
are: 98% for U.S. M.D. medical school graduates and 88% for U.S. D.O. medical
school graduates. Overall pass rates for first time USMLE Step 3 test takers
are: 97% for U.S. M.D. medical school graduates, 94% for U.S. D.O. medical
school graduates, and 78% for international medical school graduates. (In these
statistics, “U.S. M.D. medical school graduates” includes graduates of
Canadian M.D. programs.
The
USMLE first started out as a paper examination, converting to a computer based
multiple choice examination. The test can be taken at parametric test centers
worldwide. However, the Step 2 CS and the Step 3 can only be taken in the USA
Step 1
The
USMLE Step 1 (more commonly just Step 1 or colloquially, The Boards) is the
first part of the United States Medical Licensing Examination. It assesses
whether medical school students or graduates can apply important concepts of
the sciences fundamental to the practice of medicine. US medical students
typically take Step 1 at the end of the second year of medical school.
Graduates of international medical schools must also take Step 1 if they want
to practice in the US.
Step 2
USMLE
Step 2 is designed to assess whether medical school students or graduates can
apply medical knowledge, skills and understanding of clinical science essential
for provision of patient care under supervision. US medical students typically
take Step 2 during the fourth year of medical school. Step 2 is further divided
into two separate exams.
Step
2-CK
The USMLE-Step 2-CK (“Clinical
Knowledge”) is the nine-hour long multiple-choice portion of the second part of
the United States
Medical Licensure Examination. It assesses clinical knowledge through a
traditional, multiple-choice examination. In contrast to the USMLE Step 1, the
focus is much more on clinical application of medical knowledge. It assesses
the ability to apply medical knowledge, skills, and understanding of clinical
science essential for the provision of patient care under supervision. The
USMLE Step 2 is generally taken during the 4th year of medical school by
medical students The subjects included in this exam are clinical sciences like
Medicine, Surgery, Pediatrics, Psychiatry and Obstetrics & Gynecology.
Step
2-CS
USMLE
Step 2 CS is designed to assess clinical skills through simulated patient
interactions, in which the examinee interacts with standardized patients
portrayed by actors. Each examinee faces 12 Standardized Patients (SPs) and has
15 minutes to complete history taking and clinical examination for each
patient, and then 10 more minutes to write a patient note describing the
findings, initial differential diagnosis list and a list of initial tests. Administration
of the Step 2-CS began in 2004. The examination is only offered in five cities
across the country:
·
Philadelphia
·
Chicago
·
Atlanta
·
Houston
·
Los
Angeles
Step 3
Step 3
is the final exam in the USMLE series of examinations. It is part of the licensing
requirements for Doctors of Medicine (M.D.), Doctors of Osteopathic Medicine
(D.O.), and international medical graduates to practice medicine in the United
States. The USMLE Step 3 exam is considered as the final step in the series of
medical licensure examinations. Generally, it is a pre-requisite of the
majority of the state licensing boards.
USMLE
Step 3 tests several concepts that are often required to provide general health
care to a patient. USMLE Step 3 is a mandatory exam that must be passed in
order to obtain license as a practicing physician. Some International Medical
Graduates are required to pass USMLE Step 3 in order to obtain an H1 Visa.
Most
of the USMLE Step 3 exam (75 percent) consists of multiple choice questions,
while the remaining 25 percent are clinical case simulations. A full
description of the content of the exam can be found on the USMLE website. USMLE
Step 3 exams are delivered online and are available throughout the year to the
examinees. The examinee needs to register via a state licensing board for this
exam.
Starting
from 2014 USMLE Step 3 will be divided into two parts.
