Step One
Students are required to sit for USMLE Step One prior to the start of the third-year clinical rotations. A student who does not pass is required to retake the examination within 90 days. If the student has already started a rotation, the student has the option of either finishing the rotation or withdrawing from the rotation immediately. If the student decides to complete the rotation, the 90-day window to retake the exam begins at the end of the rotation. The student will not be able to resume clinical rotations until the examination has been retaken. An extension to the 90-day deadline to retake the exam may be granted on application to the Office of Admissions and Student Affairs.
