USMLE Exam

The first part of the USMLE (Step 1) is usually taken at the end of the second year of med school. It's a one-day, computer-based exam that tests a broad range of topics.

Step 1 assesses whether you understand and can apply important concepts of the sciences basic to the practice of medicine, with special emphasis on principles and mechanisms underlying health, disease, and modes of therapy. Step 1 ensures mastery of not only the sciences that provide a foundation for the safe and competent practice of medicine in the present, but also the scientific principles required for maintenance of competence through lifelong learning. Step 1 is constructed according to an integrated content outline that organizes basic science material along two dimensions: system and process.

Once you finish a section, you may not go back to it
