Policy

USMLE Step 1

Students are required to sit for USMLE Step 1 prior to the start of the fourth-year coursework (career focus track year). A student who does not pass is required to retake the examination within 90 days of notification of failure.  An extension to the 90-day deadline to retake the exam may be granted on application to the Office of Admissions and Student Affairs.

USMLE Step 2

Students are required to take USMLE Step 2 CK prior to graduation. Effective January 2021, Step 2 CS was discontinued by the National Board of Medical Examiners; therefore, the CS exam is no longer required for graduation.
