USMLE Step 1 and Step 2 CK Integrated Preparation Program Structure, Curriculum, and Schedule (2 Year Program)

What are USMLE exams?

Before you can apply for a medical license, you must pass a three-step test called the United States Medical Licensing Examination (USMLE), also known as the board exam.

The USMLE is divided into three steps.

    • step 1

      Step 1 is a one-day test, usually taken at the end of the second year of med school. It emphasizes knowledge of basic sciences, including anatomy, biochemistry, behavioral sciences, microbiology, immunology, pathology, pharmacology, and physiology. Topics such as nutrition, genetics, and aging are also covered. All questions are multiple-choice.

    • Step 2

      Step 2 is a one-day test, usually taken in the fourth year of med school (It is called Clinical Knowledge, or CK). The exam requires you to answer multiple-choice questions on clinical sciences like surgery, internal medicine, pediatrics, and obstetrics and gynecology. 

    • Step 3

      Step 3 is a two-day test, usually taken after the first year of residency. This is the final assessment of whether or not you're prepared to practice general medicine in an unsupervised setting. Like Step 2, Step 3 focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of patients. It includes both multiple-choice questions and computer simulations of patient care.
