Abstract

With the conversion of reporting of the United States Medical Licensing Examination (USMLE) Step 1 scores to pass/fail it is now imperative for candidates to have a good step 2 score. Programs rely more on numerical USMLE Step 2 Clinical Knowledge (CK) scores in assessing the eligibility of applicants.
